When I built the car I did not have money for powder coating and so I spray painted the suspension parts with Gloss black 2k. When I stripped the suspension the parts were still looking really good. If you prepare the surfaces properly and you do a good spray job there is no reason why it should not look good and stay rust-free for many years. The powder coating is just so much nicer.
I decided to go for a more subdued look so I only had the grub screws electroplated. The other parts were powder coated gloss black. I also had some of the brackets coated satin black as I like subtle contrasts.
Here are some (poor) cell phone pictures.
