Will powdercoating drop springs mess up their properties any, since you have to stuff them in an oven to be baked and high heat is involved?

 

alot of springs come from the factory powdwer coated-...



i don't have a quick and dirty answer for you but i do have a quick question-... why?



i don't understand the big deal about powder coating-... it's expensive, (if not done properly it can be weaker than paint), there's so much prep involved, and you're putting it on a part that will hardly ever be seen.



i know there is an epoxy style paint made for springs-...

 

why in the heck would you want to waste the cash to powdercoat springs? especially on (if your info is right) on a 98 tiburon o.O you will never see the springs unless your car is jacked up or your wheel is turned all the way..



i highly doubt it will hurt the springs though, as the heat applied is not high enough (i believe) to screw up the steels properties

 

Sorry about that. Should of included more info. I bought some used H&R springs and they are all rusted and chipped up. I was thinking about sanding them down and having them powdercoated so they dont get all rusty again down the road. I know no one will see them once they are on the car. I just dont want the rust to return and powdercoating seems to hold up much better than paint.

 

that makes alot more sense lol.



the powdercoat might cost you as much as the springs did-... look into vht epoxy paint.
