Don't you use Teflon, makes it nice and smooth. Not sure how you coat it on though,

theres a por15 product that leaves steel looking almost untouched. I will be sticking that on the springs when done. No idea of the name of it but look it up.

Not sure if they use a teflon paint? I have seen teflon buttons?
