Genright Aluminum Armor Finish

IIRC, you used Rustoleum Sunrise Red?

That was a couple years before. It was ok, but what you see in the pic is after I got a bit more serious and got a color match by a local auto paint supply shop. It’s GM 74U Victory Red. Likely something extremely close to the Flag Red Blaine posted.

For the tire?

No, why would I care if the tire rubs the paint off of the frame? It is common out here for the goobers to pick up a rock when they spin tires instead of learning how to drive. When they do that, it cycles through the important bits back there and will at times shove the end of the AR arm over and catch the end of the bolt for the rod end under the frame. When the axle moves up, they are lucky if it only destroys the link. Typically it gets the link, link mount on the axle, and ruins the arm. Depending on the day, the rock, and how much spinning they are doing, this happens.

That piece of black UHMW is just thick enough to miss the inside face of the arm and so what if it doesn't? Then the swing was marked at full stuff and full droop so there is no way to stuff the end of the arm under the frame. It may get fucked up, but it won't be from the bolt getting caught.

Thank you very much!
Cowl is PC Flag Red
Grill shell is PC Flag Red
Fenders are the same.
Tub is OEM original paint.
Hood is color matched to the cowl. Okay, not great.
Inner fenders are Hydro Red textured.

If you like that red and I do, then the overall effect is fairly stunning.

Good to know. I tried the rattle can (name withheld) on my JCR half doors and was not impressed. I think color match you did or Blaine's PC are the future. Other things on the list first. ;)

That’s a problem I’ve never heard of, but with a very clean solution.
