freek did you just use a spring compressor? i need to get mine off
 
was the paint easy to get off the spring or did you just sand off alittle bit, the stuff on workes springs is pretty tough.......my dad just got a works for his 250r.......and just a heads up, that will probly just chip off, if you want to send that to us, my dad will sand blast it and he could PC it id yamaha blue, red, grey, black, or chrome PC, the chrome PC just looks like polished metal

Your right about the works shocks paint but that stuff is baked on. Only thing that sucks is when it rust, its get under the old paint and rust that too. I just pc'ed my works white and chrome, it looks NASTY!
 
i just loosened up the spring all the way push down on it, and it comes right out, as far as powder coating......i like to be able to change the color when i get sick of looking at it...but thanx for the offers guys

btw batts painted springs have held up like champ hardly any chips at all,
