Also using self-etching primer on suspension parts may not be such
a hot idea since I suspect they contain acid; bad stuff for high
strength steel alloys.
I second Jerry's recommendation of DP-40/Imron, but I've proved once
again that this stuff doesn't like Castrol LMA. I painted my brake
reservoirs with this combo and have noticed that where fluid has
sloshed along the outsides, the paint/primer peels off like a banana
skin.
