Spray paint will work. But if you've got the cash to buy porterbuild control arms you can probably afford to have them powdercoated. Powdercoating them would be good. Tough and looks good.

Well i got my arms back today, cant believe how cheap it is to powder coat, I went to shop to get a quote about painting the arms black and they said it would run $250, went to alamo powder coating and it was $125, half price
Link to their site:

I find it hard to understand that Porterbuilt doesn't supply them powdercoated.
Around here powder coaters usually have a min $65.00 charge.
