Front Suspension - What should you not paint?

[vping]

I have a spare front suspension and I am refinishing all of the pieces. I will reinstall (not as a unit) with new poly bushing all around.

All components will be blasted, etch primed and then painted with a Semiflat Black Acrylic polyurethane.

What should not be blasted & painted ie. the inside of the wishbone arm, threads...

My assumptions are that they should not be blasted & painted but I am not sure.

A comprehesive list would be greatly appreciated.

Bearing surfaces, threaded areas

Tires ( couldn't resist).

I powder coat everything. But probably you
should not sand blast the brake rotors or
paint them. I just gave my rotors a good
coating of red wheel bearing grease to keep
the rust to a minimum. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif
