63' Z06, leaf spring color

[John A.]

Hi,
In reviewing the JM it states that all 63 leaf springs were painted gray, but I thought I had seen some painted black. Which is correct?
Thanks,
John

1963 factory photo below; everything BUT the spring was painted chassis black in the basement subassembly area before going up to the main floor for assembly to the frame - the spring was unpainted.

If you want the points, paint it gray.
