Has any one ever powder coated their A-arms

[Kornnut]

I am thinking of doing this to mine. I think a nice wrinkle black finish would look good on them. I am trying to make what is under the car look as good as the top side. Any one ever done it or thoughts?

Hmmm....sounds like a good idea. It would look WAY better than the rusted bare metal look, LOL. I can't imagine it causing any problems unless it got into areas where bolts would go.

I think the a-arms, rear axle, etc should come with some type of finish. the bare metal just looks horrible.

I say go for it!

i dont know if i would waste the money to powder coat the stock A arms, i painted my stock one's with a good coat of rustoleum black a few years ago, and they still look good on my friends car now(they had poly bushing's in them). powder coating isnt cheap either, we wanted to have 2 front lift springs done for my dads truck and they wanted $150 just to coat them

Any pics? I am thinking about it before I put my T/A on.


Also did you rattle bomb it or use the roll on kind?

rattle bomb!!!

and here's my dads ranger we did a solid axle swap on, painted almost a year ago, with about 20k miles on it. the red is rustoleum enamel also, it's tough stuff, and covers great!

Agreed. Sand it down and paint, or buy an aftermarket one.

I got rustoleum on my subframes. Might as well give this a try also.

I know a place in Garland that will coat them for you. Might not be as expensive as you think, probably looking at 35 or 40 per.
