You could try but it would probably be hard. Itll probably peel too. But just put clear coat on and pray it holds for awhile. Or you could just buy shock covers and thatll take care of the problem :tup:

 

powder coating works best, but costs $$$

are you shure the power coating wouldent chip?

thanks

 

It probably would eventually, but it would last a lot longer than paint.

 

yea i think the covers will do u the best...

u can pick some cheap yamaha ones of eBay

 

Powder coating doesn't cheap anywhere near as easy as paint. Powdercoating is baked on, not sprayed on. The easiest way to put them is to take the adjuster nut off and slip the coils off, then paint them with some hardcore paint, or get them powdercoated.

 

I wouldnt go through all the trouble of painting them, just get some shock covers for them, there are so many different designs and stuff :tup: O and let us know how you like them once you get them all set up and stuff. Im really thinking about getting a set :tup:

Hey, by the way, what shocks are those? Off what bike? I am thinkin of upgrading the shocks on my blasty but i don't want to pay $300 for a set. Do other shocks off other bike work alot better than the stock blasty ones? Thanks A Lot!

Ok thanks, i'll check on ebay for some nice ones...

 

i just picked these up off a good man on here for $40

is there any way i could paint the coils?

thanks

Yes you can paint these coils but you will need some type of flexible paint, maybe an epoxy. regular paint and powder coats harden and do not flex, they chip off instead. Dont waste your money on the powder coat. One thing you might try is going to the local hardware store and buying some tool handle coating. You can get it in many different colors and it definitly will flex because its a rubber coating. GOOD LUCK!!!

 

ive painted coil and holds up great. Never a chip or peel so far in 2 years. Use good automotive paint in a spray gun with flex additive :tup:

 

i did it on my warrior....they were pink before... :roll: now there black and they've held up for a year

 

Depending on the shop, Powder coating is only $25 to $30 for a shock...that's each, usually $50 for both...That's the quote I got here in Vancouver

i thought it was magneticly charged pant that is sprayed on then backed and repeted
