right, nock them to bits and wire wheel them up, then grease between the leafs before assembly, then put them back together ,
wipe off the grease thats sperted out the sides then paint them with somethin flexable, like 2 coats of redoxide then a good chassis black etc,

Whose Are they?
The good'n's shouldn't need painting; bad n's from reports will have probavbly sagged before they've had a chance to rust!
Smoothrite has always been a favorite one for me; its very plastic, used it on dirt bikes for years, got a lot of give in it, and tends to work a bit like stone-chip, as in it doesn't.

British Spirings - I want to paint them for 2 reasons.
1. They have been sitting about for quite a while and a bit of paint has flaked and chiped off
2. I hate anything that looks blingy... and they are green
Just want them black so they don't look out of place.
