Thanks for asking. :cheers:

Ordered a plethora of silver and black powder samples(NIC sent me some 75+ samples, they have by far the largest selection in the world), was trying to figure out what colors to go with. I'm changing thigns up a bit for variety/interest.

Going with:
1. Coil Springs - NIC Chrome powder I have in stock with a high gloss clear top coat (will look like mirror polished aluminum)
2. UCA's - Black basecoat with a VERY heavy metallic flake clear top coat
3. Skidplate - Bright silver metallic with a VERY heavy metallic flake top coat
4. Diff Cover - Black basecoat with a VERY heavy metallic flake clear top coat

After much thought, I decided having things all the same color would blend in and look boring. The UCA's in the dark wheel well almost looked brown/black with the copper powder. That powder really needs sunoight to look good, and I still wasn't happy with how it looked. The sample NIC sent me was so much nicer and colorful like the anodized KINGs. This way I think every piece will stand out nicely, but all work well together. The heavy metallic flake is unmistakable, even in the darkest areas.

Eventually for the rear I will get matching anodized coilovers (or at least matching anodized KING shock/resi's) to replace the current setup I have which are the Edelbrock resis.)
