A new town next to Colorado Springs :). nah I need to know how to change the color of shock springs because I'm tired of this dull orange in the front. I remember someone explaining it before but I dont remember where.

Powder coat them, I think it's flexiable enough to compress. Or paint them, I never heard about painting springs, never really tried to paint them, they always end up a dirty black/brown and chipped with my driving. :D

Take off the powder coating of the spring, with....ummm, I forget, i think it may have been Mineral Spirits, or thinner, but i am not competely sure, Then take some Nail Polish, and go at it, I believe that is what BK uses.
Make sure to keep a little bit of the Orange, or the original color visible, so there is not question on what rate it is.
