Spray Painting Springs

[Poka]

Can anybody tell me the easiest way to spray paint springs on my quad???

too lazy to put paper in between to cover the shock....

any ideas will be appreciated

well put paper in between, unless you want it the same color.

is there any way to take em apart??? so i can just spray the spring???

 

[2smoker85]

trust me it would be easier to wrap paper or something around the spring that take it apart.

 

[Poka]

cool, i'm gonna get on that just now

I don't think you can take them apart...

 

[2smoker85]

not sure either never tried...

No you can. You need a spring compressor.

Something tells me that no matter how great the paint comes out on those springs, it'll look like crap after a short time of use. Never tried it, but I just can't see spray paint flexing with the spring and not flaking off.

yeah spray bombing it will flake right off. The previous owner had the springs on mine powdercoated red with the frame and the sh*ts already flaking off.


Painting is 99 percent prep. I do alot of aircraft painting at work and dudes bring me their parts that are prepped badly so I gotta spend alot of time re prepping their crap or my paint jobs look bad.

If it was powdercoated it shouldnt be flaking off. maybe its just a horible PC job.
