I've got my suspension and brakes all dis-assembled, getting them ready to be completely refurbished. Should I paint or powder coat? What color(s)?

I've already got a new set of Koni yellows, still need to get rear springs. I'm thinking of doing the brake calipers in red, but haven't decided on the control arms or front strut housing.

Show me some pics of what you've got. Give me some suggestions and choices to consider. Thanks in advance.

Maybe Bernbomb can slip in a photo or two as his are about the nicest all yellow parts I've seen!

Smoke chrome... so sexy. wub.gif

I did mine in the same color. I wish I had chosen something other than black for the calipers, though.
