Reuse these torsion bars or not?

Hey guys, I need advice again....
I cleaned the original bars up but as you can see in the pic, there are some rust bubbles in the steel. Should I reuse these or do I need to replace them.
Thanks

that is from the way the factory painted them,, they dipped them & set them flat to dry.
