So im xpecting the hate an thats fine. Any coments will be appreciated, takes alot to hurt my feelings lol but back to my question....has any one ever painted their ignition coils. I started mine yesterday. I only did two as a test run. Ill post pick once I figure out how,to do it from my phone. Any pics will be appreviated. Thanks guys

First off, i dont think this belongs in the interior section.

secondly, they will prolly crack eventually, because the plastic expands and contracts with heat.

The ones you see that are colors are molded from that color plastic, like red for MSD for example.

this^

Definitely not something relative to INTERIOR as it is the exterior of the car, unless you consider the engine as "interior", in which no one does.

Also, no thanks. Black is quite alright with me. If anything wires is the most I would do. Engine bay decorative begins to look like high school rice very easily.

This, definitely see them cracking in the future.

What color did you paint them?

 

[Ginger]

my guess's green, red, orange.

 

[BradRios]

Sorry bout that! I thought I was in xterior lol careless I guess....well I used bulldog plastic promoter an ive used that for unfer hood plastics an tbey have held up pretty good. Guess time will tell! so im guesing no pics

 

[BradRios]

Went with red...didnt want no mexi style jst wanted them to mimic msd lol

 

[Ginger]

most under the hood plastics dont generate as much heat as a coil does. JSYK

 

[BradRios]

Your right, I mean doing two didnt take me long to finish so im guessing when they start showing wear ill jst redo them....i jst cant see my self paying all that $$$ forthe msd. Rather spend money on suspension for now. Poor mans story

MSD coils suck dick. Been down that road. I saw some painted coils the other day on PT iirc.

 

[BradRios]

Dont have the link do you! I did msd on a precious truck an wasnt impresed, so idk ill eventually upgrade to.some other brand besides msd

 

[Ginger]

your not gonna gain anything by upgrading.

Only time High powered ignitons come to play is when you have a Lot of fuel, IE forced induction or just marine injectors set very rich, or high RPM like over 6000

I used to have an older Cutlass with the coil inside the top of the dist cap. I painted both the dist cap and the top cover that fit over the coil. It held up perfectly fine for several years (3-4 years) until I replaced the dist cap.

If you really wanna look pretty grab a set of these and paint em imo, I wouldnt mind a set if i wanted my bay looking clean. Holley Performance Products LS Coil Covers - Composite 242-1
