Should the nuts at the end of the torsion bars and the stabilizer bar end links be painted? Thanks!
 
The factory doesn't paint nuts, they plate them. Unless they assemble something then paint it as a unit like booster and master cylinder, or PS pump and brackets.
 
Give em a coat of something if you don't want orange fasteners in your engine bay.
 
While I was aimed nowhere near an OEM type restoration..... I did sand blast many parts and then coat them with RPM.

No offense intended to anyone but I bought RPM at the Mopar Nats about 5 yrs ago. I was hoping it would preserve the natural finish on bare parts. It's like a wax for bare metal parts. No doubt it probably lasts longer in places like CA, TX, or AZ, but here in Ohio, things were rusting already after just a few months. They probably should be touched up periodically.

That's why I typically paint parts to match the correct finish as closely as I can. If I remove anything from my old cars, they almost never go back on until they are better than I found them.

Kind of the anti-Freiburger approach.
