RideTech Powder Coating Color
 
2 Attachment(s)
Currently all of our steel products (4 links, control arms, c-notches, brackets, etc.) are powdercoated a Satin Black finish. We have had some requests over the years for products coated in Silver. I think most will agree that Silver looks better, but will be tougher to keep clean. Offering both colors would push inventory levels too high or cause a delay in shipping. Neither of which are acceptable, so a decision must be made.

So, speak now or forever hold your peace..... Black or Silver?

Black
 
Black, Black, Black, Black.

I don't like when things on the chassis are noticeable. Keep suspension components discrete, hidden and just let them do their job. Silver is a too "blingy" for my taste. Just my $.02

Later,

I agree..... but think a special order option is not a bad idea.

Hard to stock stuff in the raw, it gets red, iron oxide color. Every supplier I have dealt with either coats the parts in powdercoat or a zinc or cad plating. I like the cad plating. Cept for the AME rear clip, it was in the raw, I liked getting to apply my own coating. Ive seen some poor coatings from some manufactures and it needed an entirely new coating

But for powder coating, I like black. I have a couple items from ART in black. Looks ok... Its not show quality powder coating, but should keep the rust off JR

semi gloss, satin black are both nice.
silver is nice too, just remember that metallics require a clear coat, an additional step, and cost

bare metal option is nice also... send them my way too :D
