Detailing suspension....questions

It's my understanding powder coat rates gloss from 0 to 60%. Would 60 % be way too glossy?

What color to powder coat rear spring hangers/shock plates.

Thanks

Gloss rates vary from manufacturer and between similar powders. They go all the way up to 100%.

Be careful with powder coating the LCA's. I've heard some people say that the powder flowed into the pivot end and it became frozen after baking. If you do end up having it done, let me know how it turns out.

I'm still learning A-bodies but I think some of their LCA's were dipped in black paint. I'd examine your LCA's and look for evidence of black paint just to be sure.

burdar, if you choose a qualified coater who's familiar with automotive parts, you shouldn't have any issues when you install the finished parts. Masking areas to be left bare and plugging threads should be industry standards; however, they are not. There are quite a few suspension pics / finishing ideas on my website.
