anyone here ever paint their shock spring? I was thinking of useing krylon fusion since it bonds to metal and plastic and also is flexible when dry is this a good or bad idea?? :confused:

Many people get them powdercoated.

paint usually will not flex enough on springs, thats why the majority of them are powdercoated from the manufacture.

paint also has much much less resistance to being struck by the usual debris found when riding a quad, such as roost .
