Default C6 Control Arms

Hello everyone,

Just curious what folks do to spruce up the aluminum A-Arms off of C6 Corvettes.

I was thinking of sand blasting mine and leaving the surface rough. Then spray with a flat-ish clear coat.

I could go with polished aluminum, but that looks to be a ton of up-keep to keep it looking good.

Thoughts?

I painted mine battleship gray. I think they look pretty good like that less blingy more racecar.

Just being clean seems to allow Corvette arms to stand out pretty well (under an old car) . . .

I would not sand blast them I would soda blast. Then clear them.
