Anybody done that?
Mine looks bad, so I'd like to paint it but I'm afraid a "regular" paint would flack because of the spring action.

Do you need some kind of stretchy paint or something?
Thanks

I'd expect that to be more $$$$$ than Plasti-Dip, so plati dip it is.
Thanks!

I've been painting springs for four decades. Ordinary spray enamel works just fine. (Lacquer sometimes does flake)
