Painted Red H&R Lowering Springs!

[smithero]

Finally got my lowering springs from Whoosh! Took almost 3 weeks.

Painted them red today!

Painted on a base coat primer, then 2 coats of red, then 2 coats of protective gloss.

Came out the BOMB!

Cost was $28.99

let us know how they hold up. several guys have powder-coated theirs. curious how paint does because its a significantly cheaper route. i have found rust-oleum to be surprisingly durable!

Solid paint won’t work.

It Drys in a solid sheet. As the spring compress and decompress it will flake off. Regular paint will not work for anything that changes dimensions like a spring.

I hope you prove me wrong...because like was said above it is cheaper.

Powder coating works because of how it bonds.

A rubberized coating might work...
