Leaf springs were a dark heat treated natural look with light/fresh sheet looking clamps applied around them. Contrast will be obvious once assembled

'For others watching - please do not use these marks on your car unless you own the exact same year, model and type car.


Long leaf - approx 1" wide stripes across the leaf just in front of the rear shackle

2 green and 2 brown stripes - Rear to front. Example below
