What's the best way to repaint the springs on your shocks?
I'm in the process of repainting and rebuilding my spare blaster.The paint I chose for the frame is just a tad darker than it looked in the chip book and so It kinda throws the scheme off a little.(but it's not bad).
I have white plastic and red springs.
I have a mettalic silver paint that I am going to use on the swingarm/carrier-A-Arms- Steering stem & foot pegs.
The frame is painted in a dark red metallic,and it looks awesome right now.
The springs are a little bit brighter red,so id like to match them up.
The paint I am using is Prism 3.5 voc Urethane Enamel.According to the spec sheet it has what they call a "flexibility aspect ratio" and according the sheet it was fairly flexible.
I guess what I want to know is .....Is there a special type coating the factory puts on the springs or is it just a real good paint job or powdercoat?I have a lot of this paint left and it's not cheap so if I can cover the springs and it will hold out,I don't mind taking the time to do it right.(I live in SE Alaska so there is nothing better to do).But if it's gonna fall off I would rather go with the other color.
