While you're in there, make sure to check the 'pigs trough'. It is underneath the upper A-arm, and at the top of the frame rail. Mine was absolutely full of dirt, sand, rocks, grease, etc. There is a drain hole on the inboard part, that was totally plugged. Fortuantely, no rust whatsoever.

i painted the ends of my upper control arms with natural paint, but my lowers are actually natural steel with clearcoat to protect the metal.

the p/s slave cylinder should be natural, not painted. best thing to do is bead blast it and then use some steel wool or fine sandpaper to give a newer metal look. if it's pitted, fill the pits with putty and paint it with a natural color paint.

in the toeboard area, there should be a mixture of red-oxide, black from the wheelwell maybe a little exterior paint overspray and then on top of all that will be undercoating.
