Painting suspension bits
Not entirely convinced about blue wishbones but we'll see how it goes. The wishbones are aluminium with a rough cast finish. I've used Hammerite "Smoothrite", not sure how it will stand up to chipping from general wear from the road i.e. stones etc but we'll see how it goes. The paint went on to the cast finish quite well.
Missing parts turned up today
Update 23/12/14!!
After 2500 miles of driving the paint has chipped off in a few places on hammerite'd parts but is 95% ok so I can safely say Hammerite will probably be ok for painting suspension parts.
