Hello members. Anyone know the color of the paint daub the factory used on the rear of leaf springs, back where they attach to the shackles. Its a 1969 383 Dart GTS. Also were springs them self painted or left natural most of the time? Thanks for any info.

My '69 Barracuda 340 assembled at Hamtramck early November 1968 had unpainted springs. Dart 383s could have been assembled at Hamtramck but had different springs part number wise.
I found black paint on my spring assemblies but later realized it must have been painted by a spring shop where I had an extra leaf installed years ago. The tipoff was black paint on top of and not under the latex markings near the front eye.
Look very carefully for factory latex paint daubs near the front eye from about 9:00 to 12:00 on the left spring (12:00 to 3:00 on the right), and you might find remnants, as that area is mostly protected from road debris and weathering.
My colors were khaki and aqua, but yours should be different.

Anyone know the color of the paint dabs the factory used on the rear of leaf springs, back where they attach to the shackles. Its a 1969 383 Dart GTS. The document I have shows a single ID paint daub color for 2835056 springs, that being yellow. I don't know if the ID daub would be the same size as other daubs (only half-way across the spring width) or would go all the way across the spring width. My '69 Barracuda 340...
My colors were khaki and aqua... The same document calls out green and olive as the ID paint daub colors for 2835132 springs - just different names for the colors you've observed.

I can't believe nobody at this outstanding informational site knows what color paint markings were on the back of leaf springs for a 69 383 Dart GTS. I've been asking this question on here for 4 years now. I can't believe no one knows the answer to this.
