Anyone know ??
« on: November 18, 2010, 08:25:54 pm »
Anyone know what sort of paint they use on shocky springs ?
Sorta thick and plasticky and paint stripper battles to touch it.
And where can you get it ?

Wouldn't powdercoating be too brittle?

Yes its powder coating, i had it on some WP springs and it takes a fair bit of work to remove. You can use 2 pack paint though.

The local paint stripper here uses a non caustic process which rips powder coat off no problems, just don't send genuine Elsinore side panels & front plates, they melt. The franchise name is Colorex, there's possibly one near you somewhere.
