Thanks for the advice. This project has made doing those bushings, new refurb driveshafts, shocks and upper balls seem pretty manageable.. .
Again thanks for all the help!

Other side doesn't do that.

I went to the local automotive paint supplier and they mixed a pint of
acrylic enamel for me. Dupli-Color or Plastikote 5803VW is an Alpine
White. I have used it on the exterior plastic parts with good results. You
should be able to find the small spray can at any auto parts place like
AutoZone or Napa. I think at one time Walmart had it before they downsized.
Grins, Norby
