Default Thinking about painting my steering.. Post pics

So like my title says.. Thinking about painting it but don't really know. I have stock stuff and zj tie rod and soon an adjustable trac bar and also a rough country stabalizer. Thinking about a gray linkage with black axle and red diff cover/stabalizer shock boot. Post up some pics for inspiration or techniques/paints that work well for painting. Thanks!

Hm thanks. I kind of like "milo"'s colors. I have silver coils as well. Maybe I will keep all the linkage black and just use a red diff cover and the red stabalizer boot as the accent.

I havent painted it yet, but I have a JCR 1 ton OTK kit that needs to go on.

Its bare DOM tube at the moment, so it needs something. I'm not sure what though.

Its a part that is going to be open for damage from rocks and such, but its easy enough to grab a rattle can for quick fixes if needed. And lets face it, unless its a mall cralwer something will meet those parts.

However there is also spray on bedliner. But more sturdy than just paint. But from what I've seen bedliner never gets clean. Thats why I didnt bedliner my bumper.

Could one paint over bedliner for a cleaner look?

I will probably be lazy and just rattle can it
