Paint Blistering on Coil Covers

[kens88gt]

The paint on my coil covers has blisters on them with passenger side being worse than drivers side. Anyone else experience this issue? Anyone know what could be cauinsg the problem? It's a 2008 GT500.

One of the members in our Mustang Club has the same problem.
The paint has bubbled, but not cracked on his coil cover
on his 09 GT500...about the size of a nickel in one place.
He said he was going to try and have it replaced under his warranty,
but I doubt that could be accomplished.
Sorry I dont have any remedies or conclusions for you, but
I wanted to let you know, your not the only one that has
had this problem.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the info. I guess I will try to get it replaced under warranty as well as I have the extended ESP plan.

Why not just re-paint it? Not hurting anything

had the same on my 2008 covers. Stripped them and powder coated them black. Then machined the raised surface. I like the look. The powder coating will not have those issues. Another option for you.

Great suggestions...thanks.

How many miles are on them?

 

[kens88gt]

Car just turned 5k miles but I would say it started a couple of years ago when the car only had a few miles. I just did a 1400 mile trip so you can see I don't drive it much. Just keeps getting progressively worse.

I would have them powder coated...

Had the same issue... pulled them off and sanded them and painted them with hi-temp engine enamel... no problems since
