I have looked into getting the front trunk springs manufactured.
I believe there are two different variants, but this is the sample that I gave the guy. Edit: I just want to add, that powder coating these springs will amount to some tension loss. I dont know the science behind it, that is just what the spring manufacturer told me. We would be looking at selling a set for $60. Is this a product that would be of interest at this price point?

Fair enough if this is a dumb question, but Does paint or powdercoating work on springs which flex? (Compared to a metallurgic treatment like anodizing (I know, not alu min yum) or cadmium or whatever else...? How were original springs treated? They weren't painted, were they? Paint makes me think flakes are flying every time you open the hood.
Always learning. |
