Should the nuts at the end of the torsion bars and the stabilizer bar end links be painted? Thanks!

What nuts at the end of a torsion bar ?

Sorry, not on the torsion bar, but the large nuts you would have to remove if you were taking out the bar.
Give em a coat of something if you don't want orange fasteners in your engine bay.

While I was aimed nowhere near an OEM type restoration..... I did sand blast many parts and then coat them with RPM.

No offense intended to anyone but I bought RPM at the Mopar Nats about 5 yrs ago. I was hoping it would preserve the natural finish on bare parts. It's like a wax for bare metal parts. No doubt it probably lasts longer in places like CA, TX, or AZ, but here in Ohio, things were rusting already after just a few months. They probably should be touched up periodically.
That's why I typically paint parts to match the correct finish as closely as I can. If I remove anything from my old cars, they almost never go back on until they are better than I found them.
Kind of the anti-Freiburger approach.
