Ive searched the site extensively, but cant really find the answer im looking for.

Thing is, my powder coater painted my springs black, not grey as requested. There seems to be some debate about if the springs were ever painted black from the factory?

Were they, and was there any time periods that this ocurred. Car is a september 68 build.

Some say they could have been.  Some say the ones that were black, were actually painted by some dealerships.  I can say, that if they were ever black, it was the thinnest, crappiest paint ever, because I've never seen anything but bare metal/rust.
