I would check into powdercoating. No need for prep cause the shop will acid wash and sandblast the components. Only drawback will be having to remove and re-install.

Just a thought on painting. It would be easier to paint the shocks to match fabtech unless You are wanting the red look. Which ever one You paint You will need to sand and prep for paint to get it to last. Powdercoating is something Dragon keeps up with as far as who is used. BUt, Iwould think You could google search and find a good one.

So you have an H2? I'm confused because you were recently asking about how to finance one.

Cool, good luck with it!

One bit of advice...typing in all caps on the internet means you're yelling, usually in anger.

You need to stop shouting at us.

Powdercoat the parts you want---tell them to kiss your ass if they void your warranty.

Your powertrain warranty will be toast anyway, might as well have the kit warranty toast as well.
