spray paint is a very durable and strong material...i painted some steelies over a yr ago and they still look like it was yesterday....just make sure to apply thin coats.....when painting something i normally do about 4 coats...cause thin coats adhere better than thick coats....i can see peeling happening if youre putting on thick coats of paint cause then the paint is sticking to itself and not the surface. i am painting mines this week as soon as my springs get put on.
