Different color shock springs??

[Buzzforbrains]

I'm looking for some diff. color shock springs that are the same rate as stock. Any ideas? Thanks.

You could just paint the springs you have. I've done it and it works well.

What type of paint did you use?

[cooleocool]

I think I used some rust oleum paint we had laying around. To protect the color I usually clear coat the springs as well. I do two or three coats of color and one or two coats of clear. The paint lasts a lot longer that way. If you really wanted to do it correctly one would have to sand the springs down, clean them off, prime them (one to two coats), then apply color (two to three coats), and finally do the clear(one to two coats). That is a lot more work though and just painting over the original color gets the job done.

Thanks for the tip but I would rather not paint them.

Does anyone have a source?

I believe Losi Springs (look here (http://teamlosi.com/Search/Default.aspx?SearchTerm=springs) )will fit as well. I'm not 100% sure of that though. If someone could verify that, that'd be great.

Yes, Losi's fit.
