I really don't consider painting the front coils and shocks a tad darker color than the body to be anywhere near ricey. Especially when they could use a fresh coat of paint before winter anyway.
My Jeep is my dd and I like to keep my vehicles clean and looking nice. The threads title asks to see people who did it, not what people think of them. So mind your own ****ing business.

Lets not turn this into an argument. If you don't like someones color, then please don't comment.
With that said, My coils, Trac bar, diff cover and LCAs are red.

i dont really care if someone likes my junk or not but my opinion is that i like my toys clean and nice lookin, to me its just part of routien maintience along with everything else...the most is that its way easier to work on not caked in mud with all kinds of krud falling in your face while your under it trying to do something, second it makes it last a little longer, mud and dirt hold moisture, moisture and dirt on your truck creates rust, id like to prevent the rust as much as possible. now its not like im under it hand washinmg it and waxing it but i do powerwash the under carriage along with wash the jeep after every wheelin trip....i mean would you eat off a plate then not wash it and eat your next meal off of it and then the next? do you wear your cloths, get them dirty and put um away to wear the next day? do you never clean your house or up after yourself untill its to the point of being condemned? do you not clean your work space up untill theres no tools in your box and so much stuff out you cant even walk?....the point is i spend alot of money on my toys so ill do whatever i can to take care of um and make um last as long as possible.... to each his own i guess but i can respect a dirty jeep or a clean one
i dont know how to post pictures, and im too lazy to figure it out, but ive got a yellow theme on my green xj. ive got some of the front end parts painted on mine, if you wanna look at my photo album, there should be some pics of what youre looking for. i know this is an old thread, but maybe you're still looking.

What kind of paint did you use to paint eveything? Did you use profesional paint or did you use spray paint?
