Media blasted the front backing plate and painted it along with the right front suspension. There was some pitting, but it turned out pretty nice anyway. I'm using PPG black epoxy primer followed by PPG Concept single stage black flattened to a satin finish with 995 flattening agent (1:1 ratio). I don't like to use gloss black- I don't think it has a factory appearance.

I'm just kind of fiddling around with the details while I wait for my master cylinder to arrive. I didn't really plan on cleaning and painting the steering parts, but after reading BigKev's and 51Packard's blogs, I was inspired to go ahead and try to make it look as nice as I could.
