I've read that you need to keep the temp below 350F when powder coating springs or they'll soften.

I've read that you need to keep the temp below 350F when powder coating springs or they'll soften. I powder coated the front springs for my Corvette and the coating, as well as the springs themselves, seem to have held up for 10+ years. Don't recall any special handling, but then again these were full size suspension springs so it take them longer to heat up than the smaller 914 hood springs. |
