John - I heard that lime green is in vogue right now.  :)    actually, mine 
were unpainted and perhaps why they went south a long time ago.  I sprayed 
my replacements with black Rustoleum about 15 years ago.    there is some 
discoloration on the driver's side that appears to be the start of rust.   I 
hadn't gotten around to that point in my project but was going to ask our 
resident guru about powdercoating.  Fred?  Let me know what you do.  Also - 
did you find a source for the tacking strip that goes around the base of the 
back.

I am finally getting around to recovering my TR3A seats. I have only had my
Moss seat kits for 2 years. :-| I have the one seat stripped down, I cleaned
up the springs and then sprayed them with Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer (a spray
version of naval jelly). So my question is what type of spray paint would 
the
list suggest? Is there any special need given the constant flexing if the
springs??? And since I need to run over to the Depot to buy the paint, is
there an appropriate color?

Thanks
