I want to repaint my shocks instead of buying new ones and was wondering if their is a way to separate the springs from the shocks. Also what kind of paint should I should use?

 

Yes, you should be able to seperate the springs. I have never done it personally, but I know there are some tutorials out there if you look. If it is a rebuildable shock, it might be a good idea to have them serviced and throw a new spring on at the same time. Much cheaper than brand new shocks, and you can alter spring rate for a more tailored ride.

 

you need to buy or fab up a shock spring compressor........i made one out of old rectangular tubing and some angle iron. they are over 100 to buy one. and any kind of automotive paint will be fine

 

Ok thanks ill try n see if i have anything to make my own. If you can, can i see how you set up yours?
