Painting springs
I am buying Progress springs (to go with AGXs), but not really liking their color. Has anyone repainted their springs? If so, how, and how much if a shop is going to do it. I'll most likely go with black color.

Thank you!

When the car is lowered, you can't see the spring.

I can see mine every now and again at the right angle, but orange and yellow looks pretty good on dark colors

Not too mention that in about a month they will be coated with dirt.
