I suspect the trigear legs are similar to the tail spring, on the advice of the factory and others who know better than I we left the legs alone because of the (possible) issues of embrittlement. I strongly suspect you would get a perfectly satisfactory indistinguishable result and sleep easier at night if you just paint them.
