quick question. i picked up a set of front and rear suspension technique sway bars for my honda accor. now i went with that brand cause ive heard awsome things about them. anyway, the problem i have is all my suspension components are red (skunk2 springs, strut bars, sturs, control arms ect...) but the sway bars i have are a "turquoice" color (sorry for spelling), so i would really like to paint the sway bars red to match. plus all the new bushings i got are also red. so i guess two questions. is it worth it to paint them or will they just get chipped up and eventually not look good. second if it is worth it, what kinda sand paper, and paint should i use. (just reg. 3m, or high temp. ect....). thanks for any help.

 

would be better to powder coat them.....

 

Wet sand them with 400-600 grit and clean with degreaser, then you can use whatever paint you want. If the prep is good any paint will stick, but the more expansive stuff will be more durable. Real automotive 2-part would be best....

 

thanks guys thats exactly what i needed to know. and thanks for the idea bout the powder coat. never even thought bout that. i know les schwab powder coats rims. so i will take the sway bars down there and see what they can do. thanks again.

 

powder coat for sure
