Anodized Springs

This may be a stupid question b/c i dont know much about springs and suspension, but I was wondering if it was possible to get your springs anodized or painted somehow to the color of your liking???

Yeah, only aluminum can be anodized. Maybe some other metals too, I'm not sure. Spring steel can not be anodized though. Powder coating would be very durable. Buy springs, get them sand blasted or bead blasted, and then get them powder coated. Might cost you something like $150 - $200, but your springs would keep on looking good for the life of the car.
