they used a satin finich for the k-frame, drag link, upper and lower control arms, and then the spindle arms.the idler arm, pitman arm, &tie rod ends were natural finish gray. I know that its nice to do the correct finish, but ill tell you what wappens, after you do that, if you drive the car at all, within weeks the nat. fin. parts are red w/ rust. if you dont drive the car, then by the end of the summer they`re red w/ rust from getting the moisture from the garage floor. The gray paint that eastwoods sells for the steeringgear and other parts, starts to wear off after 1 season. you have to recoat it . When I do the front ends on cars, I just get the chasis black paint from napa, and have the blast shop clean them up then coat the crap out of them , it all gets blck regardless what it is, then the front end looks great all the time for as long as youll own the car. rust doesnt do anything for the looks of the car, specially when people se how nise the car is then they look under neath and go YUCK!! youe call, or you can get it all powder coated, ita alittle more but man does it look nice.
