They are coil springs, not some bling bling high dollar part. If YOU don't like what you recieved, then send them back and get a refund and order some others that may be powder coated and up to the standard that YOU are looking for. I am a stickler for detail on all of my stuff, sometimes overboard. I would just shoot some spray paint on them and put them on the rig because it would be less trouble than trying to send them back and re order somewhere else with the chance that they could come in scratched as well. It is not about what we would do, but about what you want.
