Anyone here ever felt the need to paint their GT spec (or other type) of strut bar brackets? Being as the GT Spec brackets are a off bluish-green on mine, I'm thinking about painting them a semi-gloss or satin black to blend in better under the hood. The color to me, just really sticks out since everything else is either black, silver or white in the engine compartment.

Just thought I'd ask. If I do it I'll post some pics.

 

Painted mine satin black to match the underhood paint, as there's no clear.

Mine's powdercoated red. Looks a ton better.

 

I did my old set up that way

 

Red sounds interesting. Got a pic by chance? I've had mine about a year, the blue they used is so anemic.

 

DId you powdercoat the bar itself or spray? Looks nice.

 

just sprayed!

 

What kind of spray did you use? Looks satin maybe?

 

Tried a test of gloss fire red enamel on the bottom the bracket - too much pinkish cast. Might try some caliper paint maybe.

 

I had all my GT-Spec bracing (strut bar mounts included) powdercoated Wrinkle Red. I swapped out my strut bar for the Cusco, which is also powdercoated Wrinkle Red.

Here's an idea of what it looks like:


I have a thread in here somewhere with more pictures...

 

 

Not a GT spec but it's my Cusco strut bar Powdercoated red. Sh!tty phone pic:

 

Nice! Thanks

 

i had my GT SPEC bar powercoated matte silver and my Circuit Sports bar matte black. $30 to powdercoat each.

 

Mine are powder coated flat black.
