hiya, pfdaxe...i've seen previous pics of how clean your 'silver' strut is...i bought the magma red paint to do the same...pls tell me your prep---any light sanding or special cleansing? my nissan mech told me to be sure that the factory graded paint i ordered was 'crinkle-proof' on the plastic "center-carb-cover" accent piece beneath the strut...

also, i liked your chrome bolts...where might i???

thx, bro'

Just lightly scuffed paint I believe and then sprayed with high heat paint. Then I clear coated with high heat clear.

Here is where I got my chrome bolt caps:
