Just wondering if powder coat is flexible enough to stay on springs if they are powdercoated. My original progressive springs were black and I wondered if that was powdercoat? Let me know guys and gals.

Yep powder coating will hold up fine on springs. Many places offer it that way, should look real nice when yer done. :wonderlan

The powder coat does not crack because its more of a plastic than a paint and is many times more flexable than paint. Most coil springs on cars, atvs, motorcycles are powder coated. Hope this helps.

Wouldn't the chrome have to be sandblasted first?

i think they can coat over chrome also. Don't hold me to my word though. I'll have to research it again.
