i used Por 15, its a multi part system. I taped up a few things but i also had the front suspension out of the car when i did it. As long as you follow the instructions you'll be fine, top coated it with black bedliner to give it UV protection.

I know everyone likes pictures better then words...
All my engine parts are currently being coated by Signature Products- Valve cover, catch cans (4), hella grills, brackets and few other pieces that he is coating. He will also be fabricating a few custom pieces for me in his new shop...
also raised my suspension, my coilovers were so dirty after a full summer of driving it was crazy. Glad i have a parts washer and patience...

those are 5mm spacers and using the OEM studs. I will be changing to larger spacers and already ordered the extended studs for when that happens.

Spacers all depend on what the tires and wheels look like with my larger tires.

well i know its not since i took mine all of the car and completely washed them in the parts washer and they are not leaking any fluids. all i know is that coil was the dirtiest of them all and was one of the easiest to clean off. but i also get my car rustproofed every year and that s*** goes everywhere while they spray it..
