Default What is the best way to remove shock springs paint?

As the title says really, what is the best way to make all my springs look the same by removing the colour coating off the springs?

Cheers

Si

I used paint stripper and just left a small amount NOT submerged to leave an identifying tag. Nitromorse was good.

Si why not ask Craig to do you a set to match your new shells he's doing for you. As he did a set of dark grey ones for my 2wd

You can also paint them with a can.

Does removing the powder coating affect the weight of the spring, I dare say it does! best bet is to paint them with a standard light coating of black automotive paint
