Yes I am cheap ...why would it be bad to paint your sparkplug wires with 1500 degree engine paint ?<p>No... not cheap already spent over 5K...the real reason is because I have a good set of NGK wires but they are blue. My theme is red on white. <p>I painted a few of my old wires to see if there was going to be a problem, but they look great! I baked them with my 10000 btu propane heater to see if they would crack and chip. If I decide to do this I will be using quality paint that is designed to take 1500 degrees and has a ceramic additive. <p>I painted my ignition cap and would like for the red (s) to match. Thats why I am looking toward painting them not just replacing them with red ones. It really doesn't look geto like I thought at first it would look. <p>Thanks

the reason i wouldnt paint spark plug wires cause its from rubber and rubber contains silicone, if paint even stays on wires for some time it WILL peel off after some time. remember to prep it real good and scuff them good so paint at least has chance to stick to them.

gonna remove all the dirt and grease and then sand them with 600 grit really lightly,<p>thanks<p>Cage

can't you just buy red wires? i kinda just wanted black wires but the only place that did have stock wires on this island was napa...when i opened the box they were red. i was kinda surprised.
