I have a rock shox dart 3 and it is super stiff and I want to paint the lowers. Just to let you know I am pretty new to this kinda stuff so please explain things so even I can understand. What I want to know is how to take them apart, change the springs or something to make them less stiff, and put it back together. A video or something would be great, I am looking for sort of a step-by-step guide.

Thanks for the help,

Scott

Taken directly from the 2009 manual in the above link (take a look at the oil table on page 6):

Dart 3

93cc of 5wt upper damper
10cc of 15wt lower damper
No oil in the coil side

It will also make a difference which year Dart 3 you have. 2008 is the same except it will have 20cc of 15wt in the coil lower.
