Default What color to paint coils?
My fast intake and valve covers are NBM, and the brackets have been powdercoated silver metallic. I don't think I'd like to paint them red. I was thinking either silver or black. post some pics if you have something similar.
Thanks

Still trying to finishup my N2O install but here are some pics of the coils and brackets. Black powdered brackets and silver painted coils, painted with wheel paint.

Definitaly not red, i dont think it would flow well with the rest of your car. Black is always a good option.

i'd say black. coil packs are pretty ugly, try to hide them as best as possible.
