RE: [Chrysler300] Suspension Clean Up

["Ryan Hill" <ryan_hillc300@xxxx>]

Dissassemble the car parts and clean them off to see if they were originally 
painted and what color. You will probably find that most of the parts were 
dipped in black laquer and thinner and have a semi gloss look. (Some of the 
original paint splotches may still be found in the event you are wanting to 
reproduce those)

For the painted parts powder coat or paint. If you paint, use a good primer 
first and clean out any machined surfaces with either method (paint or 
powder coat). Anything that was originally left bare steel like the lower 
balljoints and control arms can be painted to appear like bare steel or left 
as they were originally with nothing to protect them from corrosion but 
dirt, grease, and road grime. Clear coating can work but looks bad if it 
chips and really doesn't look right at all.

Best not to mess with the torsion bars at all unless the finish is damaged.

I'm sure others will have much more to add.

Good Luck.
