I sent my hood springs out for powder coating. I need a way to spread the springs apart to get a good coating. Seems to have worked well!!

Have you installed them yet? I was worried about the paint 'blocking' once the front trunk was closed. I also thought that a thicker coat of paint, which the powder coating should be, would help isolate the springs from making that noise they make when you open the hood.
