Repainting Front Shocks

I plan to reuse the front shocks already installed on my Mustang. They are Monroe gas shocks which should work fine with the springs I plan to use. There are much better alternatives for sale but since these function fine, I will use them and spend that money elsewhere.

The shocks looked fine but I went ahead and cleaned them up today and painted them. The Ford Blue engine paint I had matched the existing paint on the shocks well. I sanded them a little and painted them blue with the tops black so they will match the rest of the engine bay.
