Got my Front-end kit from ECE!!! Now, to paint the parts....

What should I use to paint the parts??? Should I even worry about it? I asked this earlier, but it turned into a debate over POR 15. I've looked into POR 15, but it looks pretty involving, and some have complained about it.

This is the parts list I have. Do I even paint these parts at all?:

1. Ball joint housings
2. Tie rods (inner/outer)
3. Tie rod sleaves
4. Control arm parts (upper/lower)
5. Idler arm.
6. Pitman arm.

I used Hammerite on my '68 sway bar and frame brackets, and it turned out really nice. I figured I'd clean up the new parts with parts cleaner to get the new grease off, cover the threaded parts, the joint openings, and where the idler/pitman connect with some painter's tape, and spray away.

Once I've coated them then I'd regrease them. Question: will grease dissolve the Hammerite? What about anything else i try to use?

Any other suggestions?
