What is the correct finish for the upper control arm cross shaft on a ls6? I did not see any inspection paint on the upper or lower control arms as I cleaned them,has anyone else found any on their's? if someone has pictures of a correct upper/lower a-arm assembly that has been restored,please send it to me.

Re: restoration question
Thanks for the picture. Are the control arms supposed to be the same 60% gloss as the frame? Also, did you guys install all of the bushings/balljoints before or after painting? Do you put any special coating on the bare metal shafts and bushings to keep them from surface rusting?

Re: restoration question
Rob,
Control arms are normally a little more glossier then the frame. I install the bushings before I paint the control arms and just mask them real well so as not to damage them trying to install on painted A-arms. Upper ball joints go in after painting. I seal all my unpainted surfaces with Boe-Shield. Rick

Re: restoration question
Control arms are supposed to be 30% Glossy (according to Jerry M's book)
