Painting rear shock springs

Post by Joshvesey »

Hi folks, I want to paint the springs on my rear shocks, but I don't know what the best paint to use is. I'm worried that if I use the wrong paint, it will crack with the flex of the spring. What do people recommend? Cheers and beers :grin:

Shall I rub them back to the bare metal before I give them to the powder coaters?
