Default What should I use here?

Should these parts be dye'd or painted, if dye I've got SEM but if it needs paint what should I use?



TIA

Rick,

I used SEM tuxedo black (rattle can) when repainting the ones for the beast.

Speaking of, I got the trailing arms hung back in yesterday along with the half shafts. Will hang the calipers, rehook ta's to spring and rehook sway bar tonight.

Gary's (GTR1999) work is flawless. It's hard to believe they were the same ta's shipped to him.

Had the Harley out?

I've got 2 cans of SEM tuxedo black so that's good news.Thanks Tom

I had no doubt that Gary's work would please you and you need to start posting pictures.

I had the bike out once this year and now once again if I were to open the garage doors it would just so that I'd be able to say
" Both the bike and the vette have seen snow."

It's raining right now so it's almost gone again but everything has been covered for the last couple of days.
