Bob, my reproduction replacement springs are black. Hopefully that is correct.

I guess I'll have to remove the spring and rear end for repainting.

Gray primer works pretty well if you're not real picky, or Quanta (www.quantaproducts.com) sells the correct gray rear spring paint. My exhaust system is just ordinary aluminized - got it from Paragon.
