I was wondering what color you guys are painting your frames..

I was thinking a satin black but my DSE upper and lower control arms are gloss black..

Will it look funny having satin and gloss black under there??


Thanks

I think it looks cool! :cool: While working on my front suspension project, I painted the frame satin black. My lower control arms are SC&C powder coated gloss black and the uppers have the black adjuster arms. I painted the upper ball joints as well.

It would look fine, but the problem with DSE control arm is that the powder coat tends to scratch very easy. Actually, I painted my frame with my body color and painted the control arms and several other parts in a silver. I had black in the past, but got tired of it.

Here is a few photos of the DSE subframe.
