Just read your post from the last forum about the leaf springs. I did mine kinda the same as you, sandblasted then cold galvanizing spray. The final coat was something I found at the local "Runnings" farm supply store. It's called graphite paint. It consists of powdered graphite in a paint type binder. After this stuff dried I slid two of the leaves together and it felt like there was ball bearings inbetween them. It bonded well to the galvanizing, too. Seemed to me it might be a little cleaner than greasing them. Can hardly wait to see how they ride. BTW I brush painted mine because the paint is almost gritty and, yes, it was a heck of a lot of work. Brett
