Powder Coated Coil springs

Hi Guys
Im thinking on powder coating my OEM's Coil springs in Blue color I drive a 2009 Tacoma Silver color Crew cab... Like the color blue but any suggestion on a different color would be great, Does any of you have done this? Pictures would be awesome ...

A spring......springs. You might want to discuss this with the paint shop. Powder coating does look great, but I wonder if it is too brittle for a flexing spring.

 

So you're going for a King coilover look? You will hardly see it and powdercoat would be a waste of money. Rattle can it if anything. Just my opinion.

 

Yeah, it just i will get the work done for almost nothing it's a close friend shop so it's not gonna be money what im losing im more worrie that is gonna look ugly or simply damage the coil spring

 

Oh in that case, like I said you will barely see it but it won't hurt the spring. Powdercoat is pretty soft so it should flex with the spring, but I'm not positive.

Wrap one in blue painters tape and see if you like it.

 

Uhhhhhhh, not so fast. You have two questions to answer:

What's the temp at which powdercoating occurs?

At what temp will springs lose their temper?

 

wanna be kings hahaha, spray paint them!


not oem spring but will look like the same...

 

Will not be hot enough for springs to be damaged.


Op, i just rattle canned mine and baked them in the oven.

 

An other tacoma from Baja California! as for the springs..... just save and get a set of king coilovers...

 

Krylon Fusion would be my choice in a rattle can paint. It's pretty much my go to paint for everything. It will definitely handle the flexing.

 

While you are at it you should paint the inside of the drum brakes. That should look good also.

 

I would just save for new coils op

BUt if you must paint them, I think red looks great for coils.. I dont know about blue, I am not to big of a fan of bright blue coils...

 

Painting the inside of the drumb brakes is actually a great idea would look awesome havent thinking on that thanks dude

 

Red coils on a silver tacoma? Im not fashionista or nothing close to that but silver and red not really sure they get together that well

 

red coils

 

Exactly im from Baja California specifically Tijuana No body here really appreciate a good Tacoma here they love Chevrolet or Ford L hate people glad I find TC.com

 

God deam it anthony250f I regret saying red and silver would not look great .. you won this time

 

OP did you end up powder coating or painting? I was thinking about powder coating as well due to it's toughness but not sure about holding up to flexing. Painting is for sure the cheaper option but seems like it would scratch off easily. Anyones input would be great.

 

@Anthony250 i know this is years old lol. but how did the red and/or blue coils hold up?

 

Held great
