Default Powdercoating Springs?

Just bought some used shocks for one of my quads, and the springs had been painted by the former owner to match his bike, which of course would look like hell on mine. Can powdercoating be stressed and stretched in this kind of application, or do I need to use a special paint?

Pretty sure you can powder coate them I think they come powder coated from the Works not sure though. You could just replace the springs.

Sweet, thanks guys. My Banshee's yellow/black/grey and the springs were red/black - just wanted to know the best route to go. Yeah, the colors for PC are sweet, been thinking about doing my entire frame and such, but I'd rather put that $350 into horsepower or a new swingarm for now though.
