I'm going to rebuild my front suspension. I figure while I have it all apart I'll clean up and powdercoat the a-arms and other crappy looking parts. So here's the question: Do I do them red? Black? Silver? Leave them crappy and leave the hood closed?:laughing: I'd like to hear your opinions.

I should add polishing is out of the question. I haven't washed the car 5 times in the last year, no way in hell do I keep them nice.:laughing:

Red A-Arms definitely, with the rest cleaned up or painted silver, would really pop!

Make sure to get them clear powder coated too, it really stands out.

Silver would look the most naturalartyon: I polished mine but....it was a ton of work:down:

Go ahead and polish them then have them clear powder coated.

best again ...make it polished by another guy,and just look at him:smokin: :devil::rolling:


But seriously i like a metallic blu powdercoat (admiral?), it looks like hi-tech alloy parts like ergal ecc.

what are the final colors for the car going to be? I'd say silver or clear powder coat-- or something to coord with the rest of car/brakes/engine compartment.

If your sticking with the stock components then buff, shine, and then clear coat the original. The calipers should be powder coated to compliment.

It is a ton of work but I know when you open a C4 the suspension is staring at you.

Steve, I polished mine too. They've gotten dusty sitting around the garage during all the other work.

 

[redmen031]

What about plating them in cadmium??? :devil:

Silver for sure..not much chance of fading ask them about epoxy powder. Very hard.
