Ay up,
I'm stripping down all the front suspension, axles and steering gear to give them a overhaul, usual stuff - bearings, bushes & balls. I was hoping to get all the control arms, axles, etc sand blasted and powder coated, however, I reckon I'm better off saving my money for other areas (and there are plenty ! ).
So, I'm opting for the angle grinder with the twisted wire brush option & needle gun. However, rather than just giving them a traditional lick of hammerite has anyone got any top tips for using anything else that's a robust protective coating?

The factory just painted those bits with black paint. Why people powder coat them is beyond me. Who's gonna see em

Waxoyl ?

powder coating is great untill it chips and then the problems begin. i`ve just blasted mine and given them 2 coats of hamerite i can touch up as needed when i get some chips or sctatches and every time i steam the underside i spray liberally with wd40 or similar.

Ok fellas, sounds like we're all singing from the same hymn book! Ye olde hammerite it is then!
