      What color to paint frame?

      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! 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.



      Now just to get out to the garage and get it on the ground today!

      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.
