Paint My Axle

Hi All,

You know, my front and rear axle are starting to show it's age, at least on the outside (rust, dis-coloration). Rather than going to my local hardware store for a can of "Krylon" what do you all reccommend as far as paint that I can spray my axles with so they look like the "just rolled off the lot look" black. I'll probably look into buying a couple of new differential covers in the future but for now a new coat of paint will do.


Thanks,
DrumBoy.

I occassionally hit the rust spots with a wire brush then spray Krylon "Hammered" paint. I use a dark grey because its the same that clayton paints his suspension so I paint everything else underneath to match. its a decently tough paint and they do have black

I bet you paint your sliderz twice a month.
