Whatever color the Rubicon Express springs are. I liked the look of mine until a few winters took their toll.

Well, I am taking a half day @ work here & leaving early for the dentist. I'll start cleaning them up this afternoon and take a trip to the local paint shop and see if they have any close matching paint to my body color.

I thought about the "battleship gray" like RE springs, but not sure I want to copy something that's already out there. Eh, we'll see because that gray really is a unique color that I do like.

Not a clue, I stay away from them.

I guess I could swing by one just this once to check it out.

I doubt anyone really cares, but I ended up skipping the body matched paint. After a bit of thinking on how dirty the coils get under there (and the fact that I am broke as a joke) I just cleaned them up a bit, primed them and slapped a few coats of spray on bed liner, had a few cans sitting around. They actually turned out pretty good I think. We'll see how well that bed liner flexes. Honestly, I could care less if they end up chipping & cracking. I'll just spray them again while they're on the jeep.
