I have looked at a lot of photos and and painting the suspension looks fake. If i was going to paint them it would be black, not trying to make it look like metal again. I\u00a0will be\u00a0spraying with coats of clear\u00a0to make them easier to clean but not change the look.<\/p>\n

I bought a pickle fork\/34mm socket\/paint\/clear\/primer and more degreaser today. Axels came off way easier then i thought they would with the air impact. I was able to remove all of the a arms with the pickle fork and was able to clean the next set of suspension.<\/p>\n

There are a few rubber dust covers that have been damaged over the life of the vette, does anyone know where i can order these. I went to Canadian Tire and Napa, both came up empty. Is the dealership the only option? can i order just a set of dust covers and grease?<\/p>\n

I picked up red and black brake paint, main caliper will be red, bottom caliper pieces will be black.<\/p>\n

I also went to Napa to pick up new pads\/rotors.... $600 seems steep. When i can get this from Amazon for $250
