Powder Coating Springs?!
Just chatting to body shop and on about this and that and he said some people get them powder coating, I know its tough stuff, but surely its going to crack with movement and flake off? Anyone seen it done or had it done?

Theyre powdercoated as standard in most cases not painted
Paint is a lot more brittle than powdercoat

tbh just googled it and get mixed results, some say it cracks off instantly, some say they have never had a problem, most say speak to the powder coaters as it needs some form of plastic in them, but then others say it doesnt  then some say normal paint is fine can only imagine that looking shit and coming off. Suppose it just depends on your powder coater and how good/how much they care haha

yeah read them earlier, it was just more thinking of anyone had first hand experience of getting it done, not standard finish, rather than just read about it
