I wish I had just painted my A and Trailing arms. I'll bet I spent 2h on sanding the powder away because the guy didn't do a great job masking what I asked him to. It looks cool...but so would black paint.

Zinc or Nickel plating would have been pretty bad-ass...and been a lot thinner.

Next time...
