Suspension Detailing and Finish Question
Going to rebuild my front end on my 69 Grand Prix, remove and detail front upper lower control arms and all of the steering components, add rear sway bar and boxed control arms in the rear and replace U joints. Everything is spray Bomb black over grease and surface rust now, would like to make everything look correct. Anyone know the correct finishes or can point me to a thread?
Thanks for any advise

I can't say that it is a perfect correct finish, but I really like VHT's Epoxy Satin Black (#652). It goes on very smooth and has what (to my eyeballs) looks like the right amount of gloss for lots of those suspension parts. It has held up well for me (after prepping items to bare metal).

Thank you for the paint recommendation. To clarify I was wondering what parts are painted and what are natural finish and info on any markings etc. From what I can gather the upper arms were painted, lowers, steering components and springs were natural?
Thank you for any guidance
