Title: springs
Post by: graceGt500 on March 19, 2024, 02:12:30 PM

I bought a set of new rear leaf springs from NPD made by Eden (Eaton)Spring. They came painted black so I stripped them with aircraft stripper. The paint came off easily but the metal appears blotchy almost like it was coated with something else. I tried touching up with gun bluing but it did not do much. Ideas

Probably have to treat them with cleaners/acids for gun blue to take.  Are you using gun blue liquid or paste?
