What is the prefered method of refinishing springs and
sway bars? Powder coat, Enamel, Laquer, other? I am
almost finished cleaning the rear springs and will be
ready to refinish soon. The car is not concours, more
a personalized hot rod CV. Thanks, Jim

Refinishing springs and stuff?
Clearly the preferred method is chrome plating!
At least for me, anyway, I love chrome (just can't afford it!)

Actually, on 2584 we used POR15, because we had it. I'm sure
powdercoating would be even more durable, but with all the pits
from rust, would it be worth it? On the crispy critter, we are using
the Eastwood stuff in black that used to be "Coreless".
