MustangGT 11 Report post Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Started to replace foam and upholstery on my seats (front and back) and found the frames a bit rusted. I am gonna need to media blast them to clean them up. However, I am wondering do I need to use "special" paint for the springs (due to the flexing they will do)? Can I get away with a rattle can (brand suggestions appreciated)? I know they wont be seen but I want them to be protected. I am thinking about a self etching primer followed by your basic black.

jmlay 80 Report post Posted February 29, 2012 The springs I have seen are bare metal. IN any case you will be fine putting on regular paint, just don't go too thick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
