painting new suspension parts?

[charlysays]

Got some new suspension arms to put on my daily. The rears I have dynaxed but the fronts are more exposed and on show.
I can't help noticing ones I have fitted to other cars look hanging within 2 years. I would rather avoid this.
Whats the best way to stop this?
I'm thinking sweep blast and epoxy mastic?

Keeping the car clean really helps

Plus drive it after youv washed it to drive the air through the parts to help dry them out

Its likely there will be next to no prep and therefore adhesion of the paint to the metal. If you really want ot to last the your proposed blast and epoxy is the best option.

Sort of.
Because there is no prep and it"s powder coat, you would be better off blasting it all off and starting again with epoxy primer.
If you just sweep blast, it will stick well to the powder coat but if it chips to the steel it will still come off like powder coat.
Any paint system is only as good as the worst coat

blast it epoxy prime and 2k topcoat

As epoxy is not uv stable and will chalk over time . Definitely top coat after.

tbh a coat of anything would help alot
