Woolfman Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Anyone know the best way to paint springs? I'm guessing you need to do something special with all the flexing wouldn't most paint crack and flake off? Quote
2001Stroker Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 You can buy additive for automotive paints, to make it flexable. Or, you could PC them. Quote
Canadarider Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Pc is the better way I painted my old set of PEP flaked all off . Quote
Woolfman Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 PC will hold up huh? How long? I guess that is alot cheaper than new springs. Oh and anyone know how much to rebuild a rear shock? Mine is leaking quite a bit. Quote

Too bad you don't live closer I would love to have you powder coat my springs, frame, a arms and I assume you can pc plastic. I would like to see the pics when you are done. Quote

Mjv420 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 I dont think pc'ing plastic would turn out that well.. :biggrin: Quote
NitroTate Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Yeah you can't PC plastic. When we PC we bake the items at near 400 deg F. Here's a spring I did last year: Quote
