Default Strut bar rusting
When I opened my hood today I noticed that the ends (the part painted black) on my Tanabe strut bar are rusting. Has anyone else had this problem ?

I guess worst case you could just take it off and spray some rustoleum on it.

you should sand off the surface rust before you paint it

You should also spray the anodized portions with EasyOff oven cleaner before painting. It will dissolve the anodizing and will be easy to wipe off leaving you with bare metal which in an easier surface to prep and paint.
