Powdercoating springs to prevent corrosion may prove futile. Powdercoat does not like flex, and salt will creep underneath it and lift it off the springs. Powdercoating wheels, while popular, has never been hich on my list due to chipping problems. Also, stick with base colors (black, Kelly green...). That will speed up your turnaround time. Ask your powdercoater what his most popular color is (and choose that). Expect to pay a surcharge if they have to break down, clean and re-set up for a new color. Hope the info helps. Jeff

Nate There is a powder coating outfit here in Martinsburg where I have had a lot of auto parts coated. The turn around time is usually a week or less and the price is reasonable and in some cases, cheap by today's standard. E-mail me off group if you are interested. Ron Butts

Well... I painted a set of wheels for this car, and the brake dust has already attacked them... that's why I was thinking going powder this time.

Only colors I want done are black, yellow, and silver... just need to find someone to do it. I had two people offer to do it in the past and now they are both too busy...

Nate,

There is a guy here >> Powdercoating springs to prevent corrosion may prove futile.

Agh, wish I'd read your post earlier... I'm in Fayetteville right now and the parts are still at home :( You won't have cores, these are Porsche struts and they've been modified to take Koni inserts. (well, I shouldn't say that. If you DO have some 87-88 944 struts, modified for Koni inserts, let me know!)

However, if you don't mind sending me the info anyway, there's someone else here that could probably make use of it...

Nate, I thought it was Studebaker parts you were wanting done. I have a conplete
