Hi,
The frame has been powder coated in satin black.  I am starting to work on the chassis components and would appreciate what color the suspension, wheels, etc. were originally painted.  I am going to use aerosol cans and looking at the Eastwood Extreme satin or gloss.  I have to go elsewhere if I use black semi-gloss.
Thank you!

If you have powdercoated the chassis in satin black try to stay with a similiar finish.  The chassis and everything bolted to it was painted at one time excepting the engine & transmission and of course the body.  I believe you can get away with a semigloss finish. 

The shocks, leaf springs drive shaft rear end, brake backing plates, coil springs suspension should all be painted the same color and finish.

Thank you Herman.  I will research semi-gloss for the components.
