Hi Everyone -

Is the large spring for the 57-8 Plymouth hood latch (the thing that bolts
to a support near the radiator) supposed to be painted a certain color ?

Thanks,

Ron
Hi Ron,
The large spring you speak of is the hood pop-up spring.  It and the two end pieces are not painted.  The two end forms that contain the spring appear are cadmium coated. The spring has a protective coating that is natural for spring material. The striker pin, in the center, is also not painted but coated with a cadmium material.  Mine are somewhat oxidized so the coloration can be misleading but none the less they are not painted.
