Restoring a blue ignition coil.

For those of you with 1970 - 1971 US spec cars if you are restoring the factory blue ignition coil this paint works well.

Todd,
  It was aperfect NOS coil with the wrong stickers on it.  The only way to get the stickers off was to destroy the paint.

Before “restoration” original paint but wrong stickers.
