I'm looking for ideas on what color to paint my front / rear suspension. I hate to go with just a plain old black, but lets see what everyone else has done! Post 'em here.
I'll start with my stock Mustang suspension, nothing really special, just Chassis Saver on a stock suspension.
I'd like to do something different on the Barracuda. I'm thinking of a dark grey metallic, single stage.

My frame is silver vein metallic. I think this coloer would look good on suspension pieces against a black frame.

I was actually thinking of the silver vein metalic. Seems like it may hide nicks and chips fairly well...

When I worked for Suspension Techniques, back in the early 90's, we did all our A Arms and such in Silver Vein. The only downside for a car that is really beat on is it hides cracks if they develop.

Ummm, Im poor. I just rattle can everything in bed liner paint. It resists chipping and touch up is a breeze. JR

Well, my stuff probably isn't as shiny/maintained as most here, but as long as it's not broke and working is acceptable to me. ;)

Some of mine is black, some is cad plated, some will be gold hammertone to match the cad, and I'm thinking of switching to a med/dark grey for the black stuff.

I saw you bought a full Morrison frame......show it off and do it in a different color than the body for sure. That silver that Prodigy posted would be cool
