If ever there was a company that helps ease the pain of building a custom car, Painless Performance [2] is at the top of that list. Painless is on hand here at SEMA 2012 [3] to introduce quite a few new wiring solutions for the hot rod and musclecar markets.
Painless is proud to introduce their most complete wiring system to date – their all new Second Generation Camaro 18-circuit chassis harness is everything you need “from taillight bulb to headlight connector,” said John Althaus, National Sales Manager.
When sharing with us all of the new and exciting things going on over at Painless, Althaus showed us a sneak peek at the complete 150-page installation manual that is a complete break-down of every wire and location, right down to the wiring instructions for all of the OE gauge options as well as aftermarket gauges.

- TXL wire grade – a step above OE standard quality wire
- Full factory GM color coding
- Aftermarket and factory gauge wiring instructions for all options
- All wires labeled and printed the entire length as to their termination point
- Complete and detailed instruction manual
Although the complete second gen. Camaro system was the star of the show, Painless also shared with us a number of other new and exciting additions to their current line-up. Among them, the stealthy Nostalgia/Traditional 8-Circuit Harness System specifically designed not to stand out in “open” car builds. Using all black wires but keeping the stripe a muted version of the factory GM color codes will allow this harness to blend in style for traditional, custom, and rat-style builds.
