List-ers,

I am disassembling my chassis suspension.  As this is happening, I'm
considering the best paint (no powdercoating this time), and the best method
of painting for the suspension parts.  I have very little rust on any parts,
but what there is, I'll bead blast.  I will also de-rust everything.  What
would my next step be?  Do I primer these parts (i.e. upper and lower
A-arms, sway bar, ...) and then paint?  Do they need primer?

My guess is that they will need a strong, chip resistant paint.

Any thoughts are deeply appreciated.
