Question: Powdercoating lift?

[1SIKDZL]

Alright, I am looking for some opinions on finishing up the details on my truck. I am running a cognito lift that is currently coated in a metallic blue. As you can see in my photos, I have whited out my entire truck so the blue lift doesn't flow. I am going to be pulling it off to get it powder coated a different color. I am torn between having some of the parts like the front drop brackets and tubular upper arms done in white to add detail and match my white theme, or just have everything done in a semi gloss black so it blends in. Any opinions on this fellas?

that will be alot of white to keep clean. not to metion try to keep lookin nice after a few years of rock chips, bugs and god knows what lol

That is true. Although this thing never sees dirt and I usually have it washed every weekend. The blue metallic has held up nice so far no chips or anything after 3 years so far

Black would look better to me. Too much white

hows about gloss black with chrome, or black chrome, or even a rainbow flake in the powdercoat?there are also some cool lookin metallic blacks..

Well i guess i didnt realize how old mine is now. My factory fabtech powdercoating is finally turning dull but its 6-7 years old now

Black would look way better than the blue it has now



Black and chrome are a pretty cool idea since I do have chrome left on my truck and my rims are chrome

I would stay with black. A lot of work taking care of chrome ,plus when it gets ding up looks bad and rust spots will show.

Black gets my vote. IMO, the undercarriage should blend in. Plus, it will usually be in shadow, so the white wouldn't really match up anyway due to being in the dark most of the time.

Black with chrome could be sweet, because it will blend in at a quick glance, but looks nice on closer inspection.

Powder coat it pink it will look great against the white .

That is a good point, I think I am leaning more towards black

Never thought of that! I could even get a giant rainbow air brushed on the tail gate with "MACKIN" underneath it! That would tie it all together! Lol

Ha I was jk man! I am thinking black is going to be the color. I have a powder coater here in Phoenix that does a killer job for cheap so I just need to get it done.....the blue just doesn't blend with my theme

I know I was too. Now the question is if black which black? Flat,semi or a chrome black? I think that's what they call it super shiny reflective black.

I have 37s on it right now with a chrome 18" rim, but I am going to buy a set of 22" bmf novakanes on some 37" toyo mud tires. If I do anything white, I was thinking of just doing the tubular upper control arms and the shock hoop since they sit in the wheel well and everything else black

I'm not a fan of that black chrome, I am thinking gloss black or a semi gloss

 

[MACKIN]

I personally out of all like semi gloss black! When I spray or clean up any under carriage that's what I use! To me it's just right!
