I'm doing a little bit of restoration to my ERST and following shotblasting I was thinking about whether to paint the suspension components, or have them powder coated...

Any views, coments or ideas much appriciated

powder coat will be more durable

Yup. Powder coating will be better than paint.

i personally use black hammerite SPRAY on things like this get an awesome finish cleans up nice when it gets dirty to

To be honest my old fella said if I wanted to keep it standard and show it, I'd be best off painting the parts just as it would have come from the factory. I can understand what he's saying, but hammerite or powder coat would be harder wearing...

i have recently powder coated all of my suspension parts, came out really well and if the metal is a tiny bit pitted the powdercoat helps hide this abit

Get something powder coated and then paint something! You will then be addicted to powder coating!!

Have a look through my resto for powder coating shots, sooo much better than painting things IMO, if you want it to look stock, satin black is great.
