Alodine is what was done to the rear backing plates as they are aluminum.

Did you do most of the paint work with the parts still in place or did you have to dismantle everything? I would love to have mine looking the same but not confident stripping the suspension down piece by piece.

Looks good - lots of elbow grease. Still interested in the "S" brakes?

i painted the rear lower control arms in the car because I didnt want to mess up alignment. drive axles, sway bar links painted off car. springs/shocks were done previously

I am sooo confused! I brought my brake calipers for replating to another plating company who were willing to give it a try (remember me saying the plating company refused to do the calipers?). I have got the same brake calipers as pictured. The second company tried to zinc plate them before adding the yellow plating but with no succes. The zinc just wouldn't stick. Could it be that in the US certain chemical processing is allowed that are no longer allowed in the EU?

I doubt it, because I am in California. Pretty strict here with that stuff. Caliper parts are steel, so there should be no issue.
