Gears & Axles - what did you guys paint your rear with

im ordering my 9 inch soon dont wanna pay the 200 to get it powdercoated. what have you guys been painting them with that looked good and held up nicely?

I paid to have it powdercoated. It's really worth it but... a poor mans powdercoating is POR-15 gloss black. Holds up the same and a $25 pint will do the entire rear and third. I use it to touch up nicks.

POR-15 is what I used on mine. It's held up great, and can be touched up any time needed (which so far it hasn't).

You can brush the por-15 on which helps if you don't have painting equipment too.

Satin black Rustoleum, brush on. Doesnt like brake cleaner. But, its cheap and will hold up to everything else. Its better than bare metal.

which por 15 you guys using? is it the rust preventative paint? or the high temp paint. can someone send me a link please?

I bought a pint of duplicolor paint from advance auto and the clear coated it just for good measure.

i used a cheap satin black rattle can on mine. it still looks fairly good almost 2 years later, but i need to hit it again to hide some nicks & scratches

You won't need the high temp for this application...just the regular ol' POR-15 works just fine.

Years ago I had a customer at the old shop brush POR 15 on his new Moser rear while we did his ProCharger install. Once he had it painted we took it outside and let it dry in the sun. I was amazed at how well it turned out, the sunlight flowed out the brush marks and it looked great! Bob
