Paint for springs?

[A1BMW325iSport]

got the yellow m-tech shox and red springs on my 325, the paint has started flaking off the springs... anyone know the paint to use on springs? enamel?

i would have thought enamel would crack? i would try and use something with a plasticy base,

ive used that cheap plasticote paint on stuff before and found it super durable. Just an idea..

You can get smoothrite and hammerite, one has a hammered finish, the other... wait for it...smooth.

I'm glad this topic came up, I'm about to do the rear spring on my crosser while it's in bits.
