Default What kind of plastic are the coil covers made from?
Does anyone know what kind of plastic the ignition coil covers are made from? I need to know if they can be powdercoated, which cures at 200 deg. Celsius/390 F. for about 10 minutes.

You could always try to find a dead one and bake it at that temperature.

I meant the plastic cover that covers them, not the coils themselves. You know, like the valve covers.

The master tech at the Jag dealer told me he has seen the covers warped on engines that have overheated, so I figured they wouldn't take the heat. I had them painted instead to match the intercoolers.
