I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think their struts are painted, it would chip and flake too easy. I know their suspension components like stabilizer bars and camber kits are either powdercoated or anodized, so I would assume it's all the same.
sandblast and powdercoat would be the best method, and try a nissan daytona blue color code, it's pretty close. This is what the color looks like

I actually really like the fact that my Mr.Alex front strut bar is ALMOST the same as my ABP engine bay body paint.

Not sure about their coilovers and cages, but Cusco's other suspension bits (sway, strut bars, etc) are just painted normally. my tower bars and lateral rod have suffered lots of paint wear and chipping.
