Anyone ever had a mono shocks spring powder coated. Did it crack ?

Should be flexible enough, as far as I'm aware any of those shock manufacturers do powder coat their shocks.

Powder coating is fine on springs.

Just dont use any powder coating company based in Cramlington,Northumberland. I dont remember their name,but they are probably good at doing garden furniture,not motorbike parts.

I like Bettablast based just off the A19 north side of the tyne tunnel. They know bikes,they ride bikes,and do a cracking job of things.

Bettablast.
Expensive, and doesn't listen to what you want! He buggered up a pair of wheels I wanted dipped to remove the paint, so I could polish the rims, and paint the spokes . Blasted the friggin' lot with chilled iron! And, the twat charged me £28 for the privilege! Rims were buggered, had to find another pair. Gave him a good bollocking. Water off a ducks back! Best I found was Triple S, bit of a hike to Bingley, but worth it!

Where are you based Mozza??? You must be local if you went there??

I'm from South Shields, but I live in Jarrow.
I used to go to SEM in Hylton Castle for Powder, don't know if they're still there? Another decent one, and pretty reasonable was in Chester-Le-Street. Got the number somewhere. Where you at?
