Leaf TSB done. Whats that smell?

I had the rear leaf TSB done today on my 2010 DCLB Sport. I noticed with my new cap and a little weight in the back it was bottoming out. I know I should upgrade to something better, but this didn't cost me a thing. It lifted the rear up about an inch. The leafs are darn near flat right out of the garage. One thing I noticed right away was the smell of spray paint. Is it possible they just added a leaf and painted them up, so they looked good? Here are some pics.
Also, I was eight weeks out of the 36-month 36k limit. At that point I had only owned the truck for eight weeks (bought it used). After a call to dealership I bought it from, and a call to Corpo, they hooked me up.

Maybe they painted them for protection against rust?

When my TSB was done it didn't smell like paint at all. But I only had my truck for about 2 weeks.

 

In that picture it looks like it was painted. You can see a line where fresh paint didn't hit all the springs to the right where the spring aligner piece is.

 

It was painted for sure you got ripped off even though it was free its the moral of it they screwed you on. Def see the line from old paint to fresh paint

 

You can definitely see the paint line. I wasn't going to complain because I was out of date and they hooked me up by doing the TSB. You guys think I should at least question it?

 

Yeah, I don't get the whole painting it unless they installed used springs or something. Smells fishy, I mean painty.

 

yeah, the smell was so strong. I thought maybe it was just done.

 

The springs could have just been sitting for a while and had some surface rust. Either that or they put an AAL into your old leaf pack and coated them to make it look nice. Either way, I think it's good that they took the time to at least make things look good and help protect against future rust.

They told OP he was getting the TSB done it looks like just an add a leaf and the whole pack painted afterwards ...how is that in any way ok???

 

OP i would look at the TSB part numbers and try to match them to ur springs.. if not then i would cause a little shit storm ...but keep in mind it may do no good..

 

The sticker is above the pait coating. Oh and, GO BRUINS!

 

Looks like you got new leafs. Case closed.

 

Fucking Paranoia much ?

The Toyota springs suck , 4 pack included

 

agreed seein that pic makes it more cut and dry

 

play it cool...EH!

 

That wasn't totally directed at you

 

... it was me..lol but the second pic helped

 

No, it's cool. What do you think the paint smell is? Just fresh paint? And how the hell do you guys respond so fast?
