OK all the paint on the shocks flaked off as I slid the collars and springs on. POS.
So white, red, blue, and yellow shock people, sorry it be a few more days. I am buying POR15 and I'll spray em - like my painted will spray with a compressor.
That is supposed to be on and last forever, but I wont be doing it for 10 bucks in the future.
Yea I have pics ... I'll upload and post a link in a bit.
Cool.
Buddha.
What kind of material are you applying the paint to? Have you applied any primer? What kind of paint are you using? Primer helps a lot with flaking problems by providing the paint with a good surface to adhere to. Sound like your painting a smooth metal surface and the paint can't grab it.
Why are you painting shocks?
I was under the impression you needed to use a poly or latex based paint for springs... that is if you don't powder coat them. Regular enamel has no flex to it.
But you should know this... lol. :dunno_white:
POR-15 is urethane based, so it should work on springs. I just bought some of this to use on my buggy and it looks similar to POR-15 but better.
