Rich, What about zinc plating? No worrying about peeling or flaking... Agree on the clear on the intake - makes it resistant to staining and easy to wipe up.

I'm getting them kinda silver/gray to match up with my intake manifold as well as possible. They won't do the springs as they say it will take out the temper and cause problems. They will be painted chassis black. I'm doing this because they are rusty at the pivot points and keep depositing crud on the fender well. Black dusty stuff. It should look nice and only costs about $30 each. Not too bad. I think I'll get the manifold clear powder coated 'cause I like the look. That'll be a ways down the line though. ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
