Did you shot-blast and then powder-coat all the components? If so, where?

Cheers,

Light grey or white .. difficult to maintain instead of black. For undercarriage, normally black is use to hide imperfections due to wear and tear.
Very nice .. what car is this for ?

^:)^ to clean it. You need a lift in the driveway to clean it daily. Just be careful, wife might be jealous of you spending too much time underneath your mistress.

Thats ok, the screws/nuts will eventually be coated properly later, or anodised, of whatever. The screws/bolts shouldnt have been painted in the 1st place but the paintshop painted it anyway. I just gave up for now and want to get the car going first then ill think of the small2 things.
