Im not questiong the car just wondering about the componet finish.

I was under the impression that all springs were natural from research Ive been doing so I could get my car as close to accurate as possible.

I hope it was not taken in a negative way?

There really are a lot of '69-70 B-bodies with painted springs.  My Daytona is being restored this way, although that doesn't mean too much.  '68s almost all (if not all) had natural springs, but '69+, especially late '69+, seemed to have a whole lot more painted spring examples.  Why that is the case would be anyone's guess...

Nope - No offence taken - just short, hurried answers as I was out the door.

It's hard to tell in the pictures but the paint appear to be more on the shade of Hemi Orange.  Does the camera flash just make it appear that way?  Here is a picture of the drum that I removed from the car I am working on.  I matched it dead-on and repainted the entire drum.  I feel like the sides of the drums were also painted originally.  When you drive the car the pads heat up this area and burns the paint.  This is only speculation though.

Well I can honestly say I have never seen them completely painted - And I have seen a lot of them.......But not all of 'em!

When I took my 69 charger apart,the drums were completely painted.
Looked like red primer.Might not be relevent as it's a high mileage car.Who knows if they have been changed or it might be something a previous owner did.
