Re: [Chrysler300] Suspension Clean Up

Hi Chuck,

A good question.

If the 300H is the same as 300G, then the upper control arms should be
painted black, as well as the suframe, and brake backing plates. The
torsion bars should also be black, they were dipped in a heavy epoxy-type
thick paint.

Everything else (spindles; lower control arms; steering arms, strut bars,
tie rods and all steering linkages) should be left "au naturel" - bare
metal.

I have used Eastwood's "Nyalic" in the past with less than great result.
Even though the parts were carefully bead-blasted to within an inch of their
lives, and carefully covered in two or three coats of the Nyalic stuff, they
did start to rust after a short time. I did talk to my local powdercoating
shop, and alas, clear powdercoating is not available.

Not sure what I'll do with the next project. Maybe buy a few cans of clear
Rust-Oleum and try that instead. Anyone out there have any comments or
suggestions?

John
