Default Coils.... paint??

Here is one for you guys.. Can you paint coils?? Can you use a paint like Fusion or would you need a Hi temp paint?

Thanks

I was thinking of using the caliper ceramic paints. But if there is anyone else out there, this would help. Mods, maybe move to apperance and detailing?

How will that stick to the plastic coils? I doubt they get hot enough to need ceramic paint..

Wasnt doing it for heat really... And I dont know. I was thinking of doing it with the leftovers from the calipers. No match issues. But scuffed I dont think it will have an issue sticking. I could be wrong. Thank god stock coil packs are cheap. Gonna try it on a junkyard set. Besides, brush on.. Dries to a nice gloss.

I roughed mine up a little and then sprayed them with high temp engine paint. I never had a problem with mine

No primer, just paint and they turned out pretty darn good
