    I'm surprised that part does not come pre-painted...

    One I have now looks like it was primered, then car was painted red for example and red overspray on the subframe then subframe was painted black last. Made no sense. I have a second one in the back yard I will look at but I remember it was about the same as where it attached to the body it was not painted. Looks like it was assembled then painted.

    Yes, my 95 has a few scratches and it's red below.....

    I might paint mine once the motor comes out - what the hell - every other part will be off :)

    It looks good to me. Who did you send it out to? Gloss black or matte black?

    Besides a hardcore collision, I would be curious to see why someone would need a new subframe.
