Default Anyone painted the upper control arms and have pics?

Getting ready to change mine out but cant decide if i want to paint them or leave them black. Anyone have any pics of theirs painted so i can get an idea as to whether i want to do mine? I was thinking of grayish to match the lowers or red to match the truck.

Can't say I've seen any painted. Nothing stock at least. If you order some Camburg uppers I'm sure if you call them and ask for them to get it in red they'll work with you.

For 699.00 its a little out of my price range. Im actually in the process of painting them now. If i dont like it ill paint them back black. Thanks for the info though

I forgot to take pics before i sanded and primed. Ill take some after i paint though. Im using Dupli-color red caliper paint, then im going to use Clear Coat for engines. They are just factory replacements so i hope they dont turn out like crap. Tubular would look way better
