i have all new linkage that came bare metal from scott drake. i painted them black. tape off the studs and threads though.

if you want you can just take it all off and clean it extra well. its not hard when the motors out. looks good too when the idler arm bracket has a new coat of paint and doesnt have any layers of dirt and grease [:'(]. wire wheel all the bolts and paint em black too if you want.

Same thing, wire wheel everything. Gloss black.

If you want an original look us the 'cast iron' paint.

I used silver grey on mine gives it that aluminium look and makes it stand out on the satan black engine bay. Use two pack paint for a hardened finish.
