Looking at getting some 35mm lowering springs, but dont like the colour of them, being yellow

Can i spray them or will the paint just crack?

And some one is bound to ask what colour i wish to paint them and most wont like the colour but dyno-rod orange is what im after

I think springs are generally plastic coated mate, i doubt youd be able to be able to spray them no matter how much elasticizer you add to the paint it would probably still flake off. ask at a plastic coating business if they can do it for you ??
