Proper Paints and Colors for RMW Undercarraige?

We have a lift finally. Now I need to know what are the proper types of paint and colors for the differant parts of the undercarraige. Any help greatly appreciated.

um, black and greasy?

Seriously though, my 94 is pretty clean and frame is black, body is body color and suspension bits are mostly black.

Correct for a southern car. A northern car would be rust and rustier.

Haha yup. Mine is nice and crusty but still solid. Next weekend it's getting sanded down and recoated.

bright yellow looks cool, with red trim,.

Are you going for a factory restoration? My 2cents....how do your floors look now Robert? Any scale at all? If you can't get them perfectly smooth, and I mean perfectly...I would just go with black like Frank did.

The factory color is a greenish/silver (looks like an E-coat). Rear end had nothing on it from the factory, and frame had a light coat of black spray.

Look at Frank's pics here. I wanted silver because that's what I wanted. Lol But black would have been easier and hidden any imperfections. If I do it again (which I prob will someday) I will make it black I think.

Thanks for the help Chris. Removing all that scale is sure going to be fun!

I used a shop vac on my NY 1A2. sucked up a whole bunch of flaky stuff.

Whoa... that actually sounds like a good idea. I'll have to remember that next weekend when I get my car up on the lift to finally tackle the frame. Mines flaky but solid.

Be sure to stick a water hose in all the frame holes too....wait till you see the treats that fall out. Lol

That's what I'm afraid of
