Default Painting suspension arms etc

Anyone got any pictures of suspension arms, roll bars etc being painted/powdercoated?
Looking for a few ideas which underbody parts can be done.

Legacy_gtb - that's quite a collection of bushes you've got to go on there. Why have you gone for a mixture rather than a single manufacturer?

It looks like you've got some Flo-Flex (orange) ones in the mix there, they're the only supplier I can find for the subframe mounting bushes, and they're cheaper than most, but I've heard mixed reviews about them, what did you think?

What did you use for the rear diff hanger bushes - both to subframe and to chassis/sills? Stuggling to find a supplier of either of those.

Finally, did they press in ok with the extra thickness of the powdercoating in the bores, or did you mask them off to prevent coating of these faces?

Cheers.
