John,

On my previous 63 TR4 restoration, which has the TR3A seat, I took the springs 
and pans outside and sand blasted them with "black beauty" fine media.

It was the only way I could get them rust free.

Then I painted them with Rust-Oleum red primer, gray primer and finally gloss 
black.

I also added some extra firm foam + jute webbing to the springs to add extra 
support.
