Opinion - Powder Coat or Chrome

[RX-Dave]

Want to either powder coat or chrome my spindles, tie rods, and steering arms on my flat black 05 RX-1. I allready have added all black belly pan and plastic, no more grey.

Wondered if there are any pics of either black powdercoated spindles or polished/chrome.

I just had mine powder coated in new chrome its silver to me I wish i woulda had it chromed though it looks good but not the bling bling i wanted LOL if u do ur spindles u may need to sand them down to get them smooth cause chrome does magnify imperfections I glass beaded and then had to sandblast them then glass them again to even get then powder coat to look good wish i knew how to post pics i would like to how off mine good luck on ur decision

Hey, we sell polished aluminum front ends for rx1's or other yami's. We have aluminum spindals which save 2.2 pounds over stock and can be polished to look like a chrome. You can chech this out at www.cbperformanceparts.com

Just another option. Thanks

You want something that has bling get the front end parts from C B Performance listed above. They are beautiful and very light.

I wanna keep the black arms. Just wondered if anyone has powdercoated them before.

I powdercoated mine and haven't seen how they hold up, but needless to say, I don't think I'll have to worry about them looking like they did before.

Powdercoat rocks.

I coated my polished aluminum truck rims and they have survived 4 salty winters of direct exposure without any signs of degradation or wear. I'm sure that it would last for a VERY long time on your front suspension components based on that.
