I'm getting a new rc off road car (Volcano EPX) - not for racing, just occassional bashing. I'm not worried about performance. The shocks it comes with are black, and I think that the nitro shocks (with green springs) are much nicer.

I don't mind if it makes them slightly less springy, but what can I use to colour the springs?

Paint? Dye? Spray paint?

Thanks for your help,

Paint is your best bet. Black can't be dyed and only certain materials will take dye.

Ive painted plastic shocks with regular lexan paint and it worked okay. not sure about steel springs...??? maybe something from the hardware store like a kind of enamel paint?

...or just get the green springs. you could probably order them online somewhere.

Something like Plasti-dip might work very well. Only problem is that is only comes in a few colors.
