Powdercoating shocks?
i have a set of konis and the paint is flaking quite a bit on them. i want to get them powdercoated so it doesnt look as bad. can i do this or will it not work? any suggestions on what to do?

how hot do you have to get them for powder coating. might kill the oil in the shock

Powdercoating is quite hot.... if you think about it.. you need to fuse the coating together and bond it to the metal... not to mention that to spray the powder and make it stick, you need to electrically charge (many thousand volts) whatever you're spraying it on. 2 process your shocks won't like. Just paint em, but cover the working parts real well.

Yeah I think the powdercoating is like 1200 to 1600 degrees farenheit. I could be wrong though.

better yet, take it to a body shop and just get it sprayed with car paint. should be a lot more durable then household/spray paint.
