We didn't want to leave the frames raw, but wanted to have a factory appearance, so we painted the frames a metallic silver. It was a little bright, so we caved and painted the area where the frames show at the bends black. The paper wrapped wire is supposed to be less prone to squeaking. We did have to remove the paper to snake the insert detail wire on the seat back (but this was the only place, paper wrapped wire worked everywhere else). And it is helpful to bend over the ends so it feeds through the sleeves of the seat cover without snagging or getting stuck in the sections that require the wire to make a turn. We added a couple of holes in the seat frames toward the seat bend to give us some extra hog ring grab points. You can see how we zip tied the bottom listing wires to the seat springs. This is the only area we used zip ties. This wire is more of a floater and we felt it needed a bit more support. These are the wires that replaced the "wavey" ones from the factory. When we finished this one today, it was late. We'll probably pop it in the sun this weekend and see if it relaxes a bit.

EDIT: I should note that our foam and seat covers were procured a while back through Tim (TruckSeats)-thanks Tim. And the covers are TruckWorld. Knowing the situation, it was one of the first things that got ordered when the project started.
