The upholsterer has started on doing the seats and called to say I could pick up the seat frames and springs, so brought them home for painting, except for the ones in back of the front seat. Those were still in very good condition with the original black paint in place all over and no surface rust at all.
The same couldn't be said for the spring from the lower part of the front seat. It was rusty so needs a lot of sanding. It's getting painted with cold gal paint first after deoxidine treatment, then I'll hit it with black to maintain the original colour. Luckily the rust is localized and not too bad. No metal has to be replaced, just cleaned up and painted.
Some surface rust but not too bad . . . .
Good spray with gal paint then top coated with gloss black
