Default Powder coating

Hi everyone, can i powder coat the springs on my rear shocks, I'm worried the heat may affect the springs. And I want powder coat a fatbob head light, will it stick to chrome or does the chrome need to be removed first.
THANKS

The springs on the rear will not be affected,It does not get hot enough to affect the spring rates.
You can powdercoat directly over chrome.

Just make sure you scuff up the chrome really well in order for the powder to stick.

PowderPros is one of the sponsors. Joe (JRK5892) can and will answer all your questions. They have done several items for me, and the quality is great, and the price is very reasonable.
