Radius arms original color? Anybody remember this shit?

[discostew]

I'm trying to find old pictures of work being done when Disco 1 was still a new truck. I can't remember what the original color was on thr radius arms. I think it was a bronze or gold color. Now all of them are just rust colored. Any body remember that? Or know a way to figure that out?

Holy shit I thought you were trying to start an old school dweb thread.....meaning fun and funny ball busting banter. But you’re probably serious.
Anything on a rover is like a butt plug, doesn’t matter what color it is New it’s always brown after a week or two.

Satin black color, covered with a beautiful layer of Dinitrol ... It looked beautiful ...

What's Dinitrol? Is that what made them look almost like a dirty gold color?

Dinitrol is a Wax. When new D1´s came covered from below with a transparent layer applied with a paint gun.
Like Waxoyl but transparent

And now, when old, they are covered with oil, atf, and coolant applied with wind and gravity.

Thanks. I know the stuff now. I used to call it cosmoline, it's kind of a similar product I guess.

That's pretty funny that where you are there is so much rust you don't know the original color.

It's kind of hard to tell on the Northern California truck I'm building too. I'm going to swap them out because they have caster correcting bushings in them for doing big lifts. I figure I'll just keep them set up like that. Plus I'm going to run Poly Bushings and the ones in my parts truck already have them. So I'm going to bead blast them and paint them satin black and spray Dinitrol on them.
