What is the best way to re-paint your rear suspension. What type of system holds up the best. Sandblast & paint, bake it on , power coating & I am not sure if there are other methods. What have others done that work the best.

I did my 2014 Apex this way. Took it apart and powerwashed it then media blasted it, then washed it again . I used SPI epoxy primer (black) and did 4 coats with half an hour between coats. It held up excellent last year with no signs of peeling or chipping!

The best way is to powder coat it. Cost's the most.

Powder coating is going to be the best option if you want it to last a while.
