Spray Painting New Shocks

I painted mine with silver brake caliper paint. It seems to be a little tougher and heat resistant.

Anybody spray paint their shocks to go with color scheme of your rig? Rust is not really a factor here in SOCAL, but I've read Ranchos have a tendency to rust sooner than later. Or spray fluid film on them, or?
I’ve had 3 sets of Rancho’s. I re-painted 2 sets and left 1 set white. The white set is rusting pretty badly. The re-painted sets still look good. I painted one silver and the other black.

If you clearcoat they will hold up even better (my silver ones are cleared). If you 1K clear they will be really hard.
