I'm going to clean up and refresh my DMS struts over the winter. Anybody have any idea what color paint (Rustoleum, etc) might be close to their blue, having repainted them your selves in the past? No I'm not going to paint them green smiling smiley'

"Old Ford Blue"


Close enough.

Get the things real clean and look and see if they're beginning to look like this:


That's how they arrived and first piccie is how they left

John, how do you weld on the extra top support piece without chancing on warping the whole unit. I'm not a welder so maybe it's obvious (I've never had any bend as bad as the one in the picture).

Don. it does squirm but maybe less than 004-006" .Down there its not important...The guide bushes are at the top of the tube, there's plenty of clearence between insert and ID of tube..

Really, any welding on anything will want to pull and tweak---the question is how much and if it matters..Here i've chucked up many a tube and cleaned after hacking off damaged ears, things run STRAIGHT and the wavy-gravy bit seems localised,

I painted mine with the gold metallic paint.

It might as well be made out of the stuff based on price and durability.
