Probably a stupid question, but -
How are springs finished (paint etc)? I assume that powder coating would crack... Are they just painted? If so, how are they painted?
Cheers,
Tim

I may as well make them look good for a little while
I'll probably just hit 'em with Red Killrust... Should do the trick.
