Sandblasted to get them as clean as I could.

Cleaned the residue with lacquer thinner.

Shot them with Permatex Rust Treatment. They turned all shades of dark gray and black. You would think there would be no rust to interact with the treatment, but because springs are so hard, there are tiny tiny pockets of rust.

Let them set 48 hours and cleaned with scotch pad.

Shot with a thin coat of Duplicolor Ceramic Engine Enamel, DE1651, &quot;Cast Coat Iron&quot;. Not quite as dull as the factory finish, but pretty close to the color.
