Andrew, I seem to recall reading that powder coating springs is better than
painting, more elastic or something, but I can't find the reference. I have
powder coated small springs with good results. Most powder coats require
heating to 400 degrees F, I suspect that that is not enough to cause any
structural changes to the metal, but I don't know for sure.

Does anyone know where I might get a set of red front springs for a TR3?

 

If not, is it OK to powder coat springs?  I wasn't sure if the compression
and release could damage the process.
