spraying springs

[Russ.]

just bought some lowering springs and theyre nasty red....anybody know how hard it is to spray? and is it just a case of normal spray paint over the springs or does it need to be a special kind?

ta, russ

I reckon you'd need to powdercoat them if you wanted it to last. What springs did you get in the end?

i got some 60mm spax from R20GRC. will uprate the shocks later on in the year to take the abuse of 60mm lol.

might leave the springs as they are, my insurance is up for renewal in about 2-3months (with tesco atm) so will declare them then when i change company as tesco are expensive for any mods

you'll need to get em powdercoated or they'll crack. You can try hammerite, but dont think its flexable enough

VHT paint might work... its always soft and rubbery and never completely cures...

VHT works, or wheel trim paint as its deigned not to harden

I'd go for powder coating aswell.

 

[dan.taylor.1]

i dont know if powder coating will work, because the final finsih is vv hard yeah, but i dont know if its flexible enough

why bother? they soon get dirty and you wont see them
