Agreed BD, some just more so than others
And to prove my point I'll tell you what went on with the Polaris coupe; I scraped the rust and guck off the front rotors and painted the hubs with high temp header paint. I did this to the blue coupe and when you look through the wheels it just looks nice and clean. Granted only 1200 miles on the blue one but the alternative was just to leave them rusty, or paint black, but I did not have any high temp black; I think the engine paint is only supposed to go up to 400d. where the header paint is 1200, so that's my excuse. Finished up the front struts and then finished the welding on the front floors. I hope to have some pictures of that tomorrow if I get done wrapping presents (that shouldn't take long)
Since I have to clean the rear underside before I put up the rear sub frame I experimented a little; after seeing HB Chris' grey undercoating I wanted to see what the original stuff on mine looked like so I sprayed some "greased lightening" on it, let it set for a bit then used a nylon bristle brush to scrub at it (exciting, I know). I then used a little hand sprayer to clean off the muck and these are the pictures-along with a shot of the old strut bearing for morbid reference. I think a power washer might be in order but that would mean draping off allot of stuff.
