  • Polished strut bar?

    Has anyone stripped the paint off and polished their strut bar?

    I am thinking about doing it.

    Do you have any input?

        I would be very interested in seeing pics if you do decide to do it

          hmm, havent gotten mine yet (im going back and forth from the strut bar to the hood struts) but I have a feeling black will look more natural than a shiny bar across your engine.

            I painted my strut bar to match under my hood with the air intake tube. Of corse I didnt strip the paint off but I put a coat of silver as a base then a top coat blue to match my car some. I though about also striping it but not trying to go for a shiny crome like look anymore.



            Sorry if a little dark, quick cell pic in the garage.

                wow, thats hella spiffy. What kind of paint did you use for your air intake and strut bar. I want to do mine in red, unless of course the good dr has his stage 4 coming out super soon.

                  Rust-Oleum Specialty........... Metallic "1915 Silver Mettllic" - is the code. Its for Shiny metallic look on wood, metal and more the can says. I used it as a base

                  Dupli-Color Metalcast............ "MC201 Blue Anodized" (code) as my top coat. And the can says its for chrome/shinny metal surfases but stickes well as a top even on the plastic air intake tube. Thats been painted since Febuary/March

                  For the platic air intake tube I used a brown primer first before the silver and then the blue on top. So the tube has three diffrent color coats and the bar just the silver and blue

                    That looks really good. Never seen the color matched intake and strut bar before.
