I'm still unsold on bushings. Need to find a good deal on installation.

Glad everything's working out right in time.

if you wanna do it cheaper, you could use some high-temp paint
...or you could get them powdercoated

Anyone know how to get them done where the paint won't flake and chip off?

Gonna get those subframe bushings installed in the morning. I finally have a Saturday off. Maybe I can get the little ones to help me out.

Showstopper did mine with high temp paint. You can also have them powdercoated - mike@thepwdercoater can do it for you and he is very reasonable. (with powdercoating there is less color selection)

I wonder if I can find high temp paint to match. I looked into powdercoating and to make the color I wanted, it was pretty expensive. I'd want as close to an exact match as possible.

yep...would be tough to find a matching color. with blue that close on the outer rim, it would have to be near dead on match.

Wait dude...... What bushings. My car is up on stands at home right now doing the trailing arm bushings. I didn't have what I needed to get them out.

Which ones are you doing?

Propane tourch works good for the lower trailing arm bushings.
