Painted coils and fuel rail

I painted the fuel rail earlier this year, after looking at it for awhile I decided I like it even though it doesn't match 100%, so I painted the coils also. I painted the brackets and all the bolts black.sorry crappy cell pics, what do you guys think.

looks pretty cool. would like it even better if the paint was a bit darker to match the car a little better.

I have just found the next mod for my car, just need to find paint that is NBM, or really really really close to it.

Oh yeah it looks awesome.

Coils look good.

Personally, I don't understand the desire to polish or paint the fuel rail. I don't particularly like how it draws attention from the engine as a whole to a particular stock part that isn't attractive and shouldn't deserve the attention painting it will draw.

Nice work though. Might do something with the intake or valve covers too.

Thanks guys, all I did was go everything with scotchbrite and wiped it with alcohol. the paint is engine paint . I primed the fuel rail, the coils I sprayed with adhesion promoter then paint.
