Looks really nice. How much prep is involved?

I'm tempted to do mine while they're off... But I'm feeling lazy and a bit worried the paint won't hold up with time...

Nice-did you clear them? What are you doing with your coil packs? I need to re-do mine; I did a rush job before and now I've got to strip them and start over because they look pretty rough. Almost makes me want to just buy new ones ha.
