Colour for suspension parts?
I'll be building my rear parallel bars this weekend (providing the steel tube arrives) and I'm not sure what colour to paint it all.
Will be,
4 rear parallel arms
2 rear tie bars
Rear ARB
2 front tie bars
I had the tie bars green on the old set up and quite liked them. Black seems boring. Silver, nice, but a little safe?
Callipers are yellow and the coilovers are blue.
Not sure what colour to do it all?
Opinions?

Yeah, I'm thinking about going it all bright green, like the tie arms were so it stands out. I want it to be seen.

I've welded up the bars and fitted the drop links to the front ARB but then I ran out of gas! Typical. I need to think of a way to mount the rear ARB, otherwise they won't be in situ adjustable.

Yeah I thought about that, but my RSi joints are practically new so going to use them for now.
