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.

Very interesting. Based on how powder coating eventually fails on things, I wouldn't have thought that. I guess it is all about the prep work, to prevent failure.

Consider the source I suppose, if I owned a PC shop I might say whatever I could to sell my product...

If I were the OP I'd be googling the topic just to be sure.

you bet! I've been a googling fool this morning. from what I've read, the big reservation is more about how the heat needed to bake the powder coat might affect the integrity of the spring.

Thanks, Garm! that makes me feel a lot more confident about looking this direction.
