Hey everyone, today i took delivery of my King Low Sps, n was wondering how i can i paint them to match my brakes whick are blue. they apear not to be powder coated but dipped. Can i use the same brake caliper paint on them, or will it ova time crack n fall off them. Any help would be great because i'll be putting them on on da weekend, n i've got a few days till then so i might paint them while there not on yet ,has any one got any surgestions.


Cheers Dno.

Mate you dont see the springs really how often do you look at them?? Chaning a tyre yes but meh i wouldnt bother too expensive also i would imagine

cheers

I would say they're enamelled.

if you wanted blue springs you should have gotten lovells ;)

they will just get dirty and go black anyway.

just give them a good scuff with some auto scotchbrite or fine sand paper and hit them with a pressure pack of your desired colour. the finish wont be great but they're springs so what does it matter. also a couple of light coats from a can are less likely to crack as there will be a bit of flex in the paint. i wouldn't get too carried away with them as they're hardly seen.

cheers for the responce, n to be honest i cant really be stuffed painting them n wasting my paint that i can use on da engine. was just a thought, just thought i'd throw it out there n see if anyone had. i'll post pics up when its done because ive done a few more mods since i last posted pics


Cheers agian

just a q?

if its not a show car why bother.... i cant even see my springs, only if i take off a wheel and jack it up!

and even then the road grime on them yuk

Good choice not to do them...

But if you did want to, then they might have to be powdercoated.

i know this is usless know but for some free useless information you will need to use a two pak painting system (paint(thats a no brianer) and hardener) then add a plastiizer to it. it is what they use on plastic parts that induce flex and will not crack. :bash:
