i know i have seen posts but can not find.
what is a close color match for the silver skidframe paint.
same as on an 2007 attak.
want to touch up a few areas, not do the whole powder coating deal at this time.

If you're not too picky about precise color matching, I used Rustoleum's silver paint that can be applied over rust. If your skid is like mine, the welds show the most rust and the rest of the frame has small dots from stone or stick hits.
I painted it on with a paintbrush while the skid was in the sled and it matched close enough for my purposes, but more importantly protected the metal from rusting more.

I use TREMCLAD aluminum brush on type works great and last pretty good, use a foam brush for application it will not leave any brush marks...here's a pic of my front pivot arm.

brian, i do plan to blast & coat one day but at this time half the suspension is brand new due to warranty work (cracked rail & bad welds).
i'm thinkin next summer... the off season i may send out.
