Graphite Coating

Finished rebuilding my 1/4 eliptical springs. Coated them with "EZ Slide" a graphite based spray coating. The stuff comes in liquid or spray, but chose the spray. Used 1 can on each spring assembly. The stuff dries hard and has a very slippery feel.
Located a new rear wheel hub from BRG Parts in Newark, DE and replaced that today. Hope to have wheels on the ground early next. My new brake lines shipped yesterday so I should be good to go!! (famous last words)!!!!!
Looking forward to having a rolling chassis.

Wonderful.
 
I've never heard of that stuff before. How much and where can I get it?
 
The name on the can is "EZ Slide". I bought it at a Tractor Supply store. The spray can was $7.00 but you can get it in a pint & gallon can for brush application. Google the stuff and I'm sure you can locate a store.
I'm very happy w/ the finish & look. It should be good for the leaf spring interface.
