I have a WP rear shock, and the spring happens to be ugly and white. Is there a (spray or brush on) paint that will stick to a spring (after I sand it)? Something that will hold up to the movement? If not, would standard powder coat stick to it? | ||

For all the more a coil spring moves nearly any spray can stuff will work when properly prepared. | ||

Powder coating is a great option for springs. | ||

These guys say their stuff is flexible and works well on springs, although I haven't personally painted a spring with it. I've just painted an S1 frame with it and it certainly seems to be very hard and chip-resistant. Goes on nice, too, very nice flow-out and gloss with the "hardnose" paint. I'm going to use it on some other projects based on my positive impression so far. rt | ||

Mike, if you'd like, I've got the stuff we can paint it with. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think a spring would move enough to crack/crinkle the paint. I've got a pint of black paint and some flex additive left over from when I sprayed some parts on the Focus. We could also just get any color you want, but you'd have to buy a pint... | ||

Since I had to bring up the HPC website for another thread, let me plug them again: http://www.hpcoatings.com/am/products/products_fri ction.aspx Scroll about half way down for springs. | ||

I find that the Eastwood Company is another good source for materials and techniques for almost any type of automotive refinishing. http://www.eastwoodco.com/index.jsp?cm_mmc=PMD_SE- _-Google-_-Brand_General-_-eastwood_company_ | ||
