Hi Rob,
Originally the front springs were rolled from bar stock and had a blue/gray scale on them that's formed when hot steel is worked. I don't think they were painted.
Cast Blast looks pretty good on them unless the points matter.
Regards,
Alan
PS: You can just see a couple lower coils in this picture.

Alan - just a quick note to say how impressive your project looks, every time I see another image. Your vison is very sharp.
Thanks Fellas.
