Title: Shock Springs
Post by: Andrew123 on September 10, 2010, 10:39:25 am

I will send a frame off to the powder coaters next week and was going to include the shock springs. Are there any issues with powdercoating shock springs or are they normally painted? I thought that powder coating may crack when the spring is compressed?

Iv had several powder coated and used for several race seasons with no problems whatsoever.
I cant realy imagine that the oven temperature to cure the powder coating could be anywhere near hot enough to affect the spring tempering.
