front suspension, steering components? In the past I've had a tendency to paint everything black but I think this time maybe something different (at least for me) like cast iron gray.

I usually go black. But I have done hammer tone grey on my off road vehicles.

unless doing a concours resto, I like to mix the color up a bit for two reasons 1. It makes it more visually appealing. 2. It proves it's been apart rathe than spray bombed in place. twocents beer

I tend to use black engine paint. I don't really like the suspension to be the eye grabber. I've done one front end somewhat concours for somebody else and might do that on the GTS this time around or I'll just do what I always do.
