Post subject:  To paint LBJ and Tie Rod Ends (or not to)

Will the new lower balljoints and tie-rod end rust if I keep them natural metal? Should I paint these if I want to avoid rust on these new parts?

yes they will rust. yes if you are anal like me you should paint them. I use castcoat engine enamel after a couple coats of primer then I get jamming clear and put a couple heavy layers of clear on them.

The cast coat is high temp and is more durable if you cure it with heat. I have tried a variety of methods and prefer my heat gun.

I've never had a car with new balljoints and stuff.
I'm anal, but maybe not as much as you.
