Scratches on coils

modeltguy · Jan 19, 2018

Have any of you had issues with a coil due to excessive scratches? Does some slight scratching affect performance? Can scratches be polished out?

I've never had issues with scratches, but cracks can be bad, causes alot of falsing...

I personally would not worry about scratches. You don't want to polish them out, that is one thing I know. Polishing them out would make the plastic thinner and soon you won't have a coil that works.

Buy a coil cover if they bother you, or read up on some of the tricks others use like spray in truck bed liner.

Thanks for the replies. I am not concerned about cosmetic issues unless they affect function. I just bought a coil at a pretty good price that has some relatively minor scratches and scuffs and am hoping it will be OK. It hasn't come in yet so I won't get to test it for a week or so.

Good advice!

Get a skid plate. I would never hunt without one. Skid plates are cheap, coils are not.
