You can paint it but there is no point of doing that.

if you want to, get them powdercoated. Paint will just chip off and rust.

btw, it sounds like you are spray painting your stock springs for whatever reason. Is this true?

Yes you can paint anything. Have it done at paint shop. They will know the proper coating that will flex along with the spring.

there is no flex additives that will work on a coiled spring painted at a body shop.

Also, IIRC, powdercoating springs can expose the springs to heat which can affect them in certain ways.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
