The springs were painted to look like natural steel and the centerlink was done in cast gray, but most other suspension parts that appear natural were bead-blasted and then clear-coated. POR-15 Chassis Coat Black topcoat was used for the black areas, and its sheen is close to the factory paint according to Jack.
