[s-cars] what paint for coil springs

[Fred Munro]

I used Por-15 on the front & rear springs on my S4. In spite of the constant
winter salt bath it is holding up well after 2 years.

Picked up a set of used 250 lb coil springs from Dick Shine Racing for the
Coupe.
(Yes, they carry springs that fit the 80/90 CQs)

Fronts are a bit rusty, and given that I live in the salty northeast u.s.,
I want to address the rust immediately.

Folks have any BTDT experience in painting the springs?

I assume that unless the paint has some flex, it will eventually fail as
the original paint did...
so powdercoating is probably NOT a good option.

TIA
