Stress testing with Brittle Lacquer (Compression Springs)

Q. Please respond with experience in using brittle lacquer to investigate stress concentration in compression springs, specifically automotive suspension springs; but I would not want to turn away your experience with any applications.

Q. Can anyone tell me where to buy brittle lacquer for stress test purposes, or a photoelastic system that can be applied to the exterior of a test specimen?
