It looks great, but I would replace those axle seals now.

I've seen spraypaint shrivel up plastic grease seals something fierce. I imagine it would do the same to oil seals.

IMHO, once you've got that much off the car, you are better off dropping the whole subframe. It's easier assemble everything to subframe out in the open and then stick the assembled subframe back in.
I went a little crazy painting and cleaning everything, but I was in the "keep it stock looking" category. I used alot of Semi-gloss black enamel.
