When you paint the suspension parts, just remember that they do move. I have seen lots of nice paint jobs ruined by flaking paint around bolts and other movable parts. Are you going to paint the trailer to match?

Ok, so what I'm thinking is painting the rails pearl white to match the cab along with the differentials. Then, sense the front fenders are blue, I figure the rear fenders should be too. And I think I'm going to fill the space between the rails with stainless steel. I'm not sure about the trailer yet but most likely I will match it to the truck somehow. I will most defiantly be careful about what I paint because of the moving parts! Thank you for the warning!
