I guess it depends on who you talk to...some say natural others say black, ive seen them both ways, I usually go black as I drive my cars and dont want rust...

On a similar subject,has anyone bought or seen some of the reproduction upper control arms listed on eBay with bushings and upper ball joints.Not just the E body ones,but they list them for Demons,Duster,Roadrunners,etc.Just wondering about quailty,look and fit.Ref item #200362976235.

I used VHT Epoxy Stainless Steel on mine to simulate the natural steel look. 
It looks like you painted them with the bushings in, is that how you did it? Looks good. VHT Epoxy stainless, where can
I get it?
Thanks

I had the old bushings removed, stripped the arm with aircraft stripper, & had new bushings pressed in. Then I decided to paint with VHT epoxy. I taped everything very carefully. I ordered the paint from a local guy. I'm sure you could find it online.

I did a search and cannot find the VHT Epoxy Stainless paint. One site made it look like it no longer exists? Your control arm looks really good, I want to paint mine that color any ideas? I looked at eastwoods detail grey like another person posted but I dont think that will come out the same.
Thanks
