Correct me if I'm wrong.
nah, they'll be perfectly fine. A PC job on springs would have them in 350-400 degrees for 15 minutes tops. I don't think it's worth it since you can barely see the springs, but they won't be damaged from the PC job.

You should probably paint your transmission. That would look 1090923x better IMO.

Just remove every bolt around the general area and wait.

Maybe but you can use a red sharpie, that will flex with the springs.

This is nuts.

Default color?

i dont really see a purpose of painting the springs to a different color, if you like red, should go w/ Eibach, but how often people actually look underneath your fenders to see what color your springs are. Just get whatever perform the best, thats the most important feature of a suspension part.
