hey guys  
i bought a set of springs, they had some minor surface rust i sanded off, now im just wondering what kind of primer/paint i should use, im thinking since the springs flex under the weight of the car the paint needs to be flexible or it will crack off right ? is there special paint or does anyone know what works ?  
let me know. thanks in advance.
