The car will be Adriatic blue. The underbody and engine bay are white. Interior will be black and gray with some accent pieces having color. I have a Tarret front swaybar with anodized red collars and droplinks.
So what color should I choose for powder coating the A-arms, front crossmember, uprights, rear trailing arms, etc?? This is not a restoration project (fiberglass flares, subaru engine) so just let me know what you think would look best. Thanks! |

When I did the suspension on the brown car, I was originally going to powder coat clear over the bare bead blasted finish. That takes a lot of blast work though to get a consistent finish. I ended up with a metallic gray that I didn't really like after it was finished. The car sold 6 or 8 monnths later. My car will probably be something more like what Karl did. Semi-gloss black (chassis black) on the arms and such, with the strut housings and rear coils possibly yellow (orange?) or some other color.
