Default leaf spring for a 69 B/B CORVETTE

I have ordered a replacement rear leaf spring from Paragon. The spring comes painted black and has plastic liners, i dont think the original spring was painted black, does any one know the correct color of the orininal spring and where the paint can be purchased thanks
