HELP!
Just sandblasted upper & lower control arms as well as tie rods and sway bar. I believe that these are chromoly. Question is can they be polished or do I have to go with powder coating? Thanks.

I powder coated the ones from my SRX, and will probably end up doing the same with the viper ones.
Not sure what the material is made of and if it would polish out or not.
I found a place that sells a blue that is very close to the yamaha blue, if you need it I can find their info...

Thanks but they were silver & I just attached a polished tunnel to the bulk head so ideally polished would be the way to go. Thanks though.
with that avatar you can polish any thing!!! Which you can if its metal but it will rust,
powder coat or paint, or make new ones with heim joints at each end then polish the new aluminum and will match, Makes alignment much easier to with heim joint on each end...

Ah OK in that case check out this chrome powder coat:http://store.columbiacoatings.com/c...Templates/HTN/SearchResult.html&category=MTPW
I've seen this in person and it looks pretty darn close to chrome to me.

Anytime!!
OK so dropped everything off to get powdercoated but I was told they could not do the linkage from sway bar because of the rubber inside. Can that rubber be pushed out so those parts can be coated as well?
Not sure about rubber on any sway bar parts but there was a concern with the rubber bushing on the trailing arms when I had mine powder coated (black). I told my buddy to let's give it a try and if the rubber melted I'd press new ones in. He was more worried about molten rubber screwing up the powder coat but as it turn out, the rubber held up just fine.
Anyone know if the rubber in the stabilizer joint can be pressed out?
Oops, forgot about the sway bar link bushings (must have Polaris on my brain). I don't remember the sway bar itself with bushings. I made some spacers (and longer bolts) to adapt my SRX sway bar to the Viper/Venture long travel set up I'm running. My guess would be the bushings within the links are not serviceable but the parts microfiche should show whether they are or not.
I may just have to try and match the powder coat with paint. Thanks for the input.
