rear camber arms

[Lancer99]

Long story short. I finally have some money to spend on my vr-4 to try and get back on the road. The rear camber arms that I got from Andre needs to be painted and I was wondering what kind of paint should I use? I prefer to do it myself and where its done so I dont have to take them back off and repaint them a couple years later.

undercoat paint should work.

why not powder coat them that way the finish lasts longer?

 

[Lancer99]

How much does powder coating costs?

 

[curtis]

Depends on who does it. Might be beer or 100 bucks. You could paint them with gloss black epoxy paint from a rattle can for less than 10 bucks.

or POR-15?

^ That's what i was thinking, but i know POR-15 likes a substrate that is already somewhat seasoned. However if you use their Metal Ready to prime, i think you are good. POR15 is a great product.

Does anyone on here powder coat?

I had my Pina motorsports rear upper control arms powder coated silver. I think I paid around $100 to have them both done. They look like candy /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I've used TCC for all my coatings. Though its been a while since I've had anything done.

Not to jack, does Pina still make these? Got any pics? Thanks

Even with metal ready prep por15 doesn't bond well to non rusty metal.
If it were me I'd use 3 coats of rustolium and then wax it or rubberized undercoating.

 

[Lancer99]

Andre told me he closed his shop last year but never said anything about not making the control arms.

 

[blacksheep]

What? Pina is closed?

 

[GSX_TC]

News to me, I though his shop was doing good. He's a member on here, Grocery getter is his username.

Tell him Mike Valencia sent you. He'll give you a better deal.
