That will increase the spring rate to a point where you think you have no springs.

Can you elaborate? Im not saying your wrong by any means i just don't understand how paint and grease increases the spring rate
By saying "think you have no springs" do you mean the car will sit lower or "bottom out" on hard bumps or be bouncy as can be?
I do know when i had to replace the shocks on my modern pickup with rear leafs i bounced the back-end with no shocks attached and i didn't think it would ever stop bouncing!
