I have some slightly gruby coil springs and was wondering can you paint them (or does it just crack in use)
If you can what do you guys use?
Cheers

they are normally plastic coated so - unsure as to what paint you would use. In reality they shouldn't flex that much so most paint will work - if only for a short while.

I suppose I could use that plastic coating stuff, hmmm never had much luck using that stuff in the past (goes bloody everywhere.)

I just give my stuff to be coated to my local specialist - he sand blasts them clean then does the powdercoating.

Cheers

This stuff any good?

a lot of people who would have swonr by por15 a year or two ago are singing a different tune now.

It has its application, mostly on older sheetmetal with slight rusting, as in it was dressed clean a while ago but rust has begun to form again.
I've been helping a friend with the bodywork on a model A pickup, we used por15 on the insides of all the panels and cab, as well as the underside. however as previously stated all the pannels were previously dressed.

if used properly its a great product, but for springs, powdercoating is a better solution. and its not as costly as it once was.
I personally have an eastwood kit that works great for small pieces (as long as it fits within the oven)
