Various springs, surface coating

While I was wainting for the correct rear wheeel cylinders I figured I could try and wax some of the springs I have. As they are hard to paint and get the paint to stick and in an even layer I figured I could try and hot wax them instead.

Doing some coil spring surface coating preparation.

I have gotten hold on some special purpose rust protecting "hard wax", I figured scince coil springs are of a quite hard steel the paint dont stick very good when the spring flexes and zinc coating is not very good as it can make them brittle and make them crack under continiuos tension or compression, so I figured some hot wax would be ideal. So this is the preparation of the wax chunk.

This is the chunk of wax I got a hold of, looks like cheese LOL. To big to heat in the frying pan, so I had to cut the corners of with a kitchen knife. It was HARD.
