I took apart a rolling chassis some time ago and had these parts media blasted so I could then have them either powder coated or painted. Well they are sitting in my garage and it is time to get them organized and get them finished. I'd like to finish them in the correct color but after so many years I just don't remember what correct color they should be, so I am asking you folks.
The trailing arms are going to be powder coated black, that one is a given. Same is true with the lower control arms (pair) and the single control arm. So those will be gathered up with any other parts I will have powder coated and taken to my local coater in the near future. Honestly not sure about the other parts but if you could give me a clue I can take it from there.
Front caliper brackets should be gold (chromium) iridite plated.
I thought the rear spindle bearing support with natural cast?
I don't have my book with me right now.....

Since you're not worried about NCRS correct than cast blast for cast items that are not getting power coated and silver or stainless steel (Lowes rattle can) for the hard steel items.
