"Powder coating is one of the few coatings that can withstand the flexing of coil springs"....I just googled it.


8. Will Powder Coat Flex With Items Like Automotive Coil Springs?
Powder coating is one of the only coatings that can withstand repetitive flexing commonly found on automotive springs. There is an example of two front coil springs that were coated in our Gallery. Most springs will already have a powder coated layer from the factory. We can clean up the look of the old springs by adding a vibrant new color.
