Anyone had there shock spring re-coated? I'd assume powdercoat would crack off, but what about a more flexible plastic coating? Anyone had this done?

Cheers FS.

Powder coat wont crack.Thats how they are normally done mate.

You can paint them with spray paint if you like.Take the spring off and do it.

I was thinking of adding this to my business tbh.. get your rear coil painted.. Anyone think this would be a good idea along with the rebuilds? Confused

As Budgetboy said powder coat is fine and the most hard wearing but you could paint it too ,but by the time youve finished you might just as well have it coated,Ive had numerous done in the past and its not expensive Thumbs Up

It would be a good idea Thumbs Up
