Painting leaf springs
This weekend will be spent painting the custom rear leaf springs that were provided by Carrier Spring. I was surprised to see that the leaves were not painted individually and were painted as a complete unit. This means that there is no paint between the leaves. This equals rust just waiting to happen. So it means the springs have to come back off and be taken apart so they can be completely painted and then put back together and re-installed on the truck. If that sounds like a lot of work, you'd be right. It does not make me happy, but when you're getting something at no charge, it makes it difficult to complain. So we do what we must to make it right. I think we'll repaint the driveshafts while we're at it since the cast blast paint from Seymore Paint is total crap.
