You can paint them, but keep in mind the shocks do get warm. Good prep with a good paint should do fine. For the boots, you can get new ones in your choice of color for under $5 ea and would hold up better than painting them.

Keeping this in view, can I paint my suspension springs?
Choose the color you want to paint the springs. There are also spray paints specially formulated for suspension parts that are more durable. Spray on a light coating of paint. Let it dry for a minute or so, and then apply a thicker coat, ensuring even coverage everywhere on the spring.

One may also ask, can you powder coat shock springs?
Do not be stupid – DO NOT USE GASOLINE! Simply put, powder coating is a process where dry paint particles are sprayed onto the surfaces on the spring. Then the springs are heated which melts and bonds the paint particles to the metal. Painting should not have to be explained.
To prepare your chassis, the first thing to do is gather your materials, which include: a PRE paint solution, electric sander, stripper or blaster, lint-free hand towels, and some epoxy primer. Using an epoxy primer will yield the best results when painting your chassis.
