What paint can I use?

Can I use a chassis paint on the springs and sway bars, or do I use something else? What primer?

if your looking for a spraybomb type primer,stick with a self etch on the bare metal it's good foundation for any topcoat.if you get the black primer,you'll use less paint to get coverage on the parts=less coats=more money in your pocket!

Powdercoat. Who paints stuff anymore? Just kidding, but seriously, powdercoating is unbelievably tough on those parts. Yes, even springs that flex so much. Mine's never chipped.

I used an epoxy primer and did my springs in a semi gloss black along with the control arms. I sprayed the sway bar in a gloss black but Ive seen them done in cast blast and that looks real good. It gives the front end some extra color when you look down there.
