How and how to paint car suspension elements
By its design, the front suspension arm is a metal rod of a specific shape. It is recommended to paint the element from a spray can. This method of coating helps to fill hard-to-reach places. The best option is to use a spray gun. However, you can get by with a spray can.
Car suspension painting is usually included in the overall front of the repair work. In cases where chips or cracks appear on the structure, it is painted separately.
Car suspension painting - basic rules
The suspension is located at the bottom of the car. The design is a link between the body and the road surface. Climatic conditions, as well as the features of roads, negatively affect the general condition of the part, therefore, painting this element of the machine is required more often.
Sequence of actions:
- Preparation of equipment and materials.
- Organization of a place for staining.
- Processing (cleaning, grinding, degreasing parts).
- Painting.
It makes no sense to paint a suspension that is not sanded and primed. The composition will come off the surface after several months of operation.

Paint choice
Coating materials must meet certain requirements. The main selection criterion is the resistance of the paint to mechanical damage.
Nitro paints are used to hide minor suspension defects. The compositions will easily mask cracks, but are not suitable for full staining.
The painting technology takes into account the nature of the process: local or zonal. The use of nitro compositions helps to partially restore the structure. If you are painting the whole part, then use a spray gun and suitable car enamels.
