Dear knowers

What kind of paint shall I use for the body parts as front suspension, rear suspension etc etc on my 1900 Sprint to get it as original as possible.

Black powder coating ?
Eastwood chassis black ?
Red glossy candy

Thanks for your advise

To the best of my knowledge most Italian cars of that era painted the suspension components satin black. The Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black in satin provides a very nice match. Do yourself a favor and have the components media blasted, then paint them with self-etching primer. Eastwood does sell a black primer which is very good, however I still recommend using the self-etching primer first. The under side of the chassis usually had body shutz undercoating applied. If you are going to body shutz the underside, I recommend performing the same process as the suspension components. You can even use POR-15 before you body schutz the underside.
