you can get it in different color and in flat and gloss. i went with a gloss black. the big thing with por15 if its in the sun it needs to be painted over.

being your painting an axle it doesn't need to be painted over.
what kind of brush do you use ? I dont need take my rear off like u right ?. how long it take before it dry complete, I guest I just go ahead and change out rear diff gear oil, then paint over. btw if I paint over the valve cover bolt, if I want take it off in the future, does it hard to take off ? thanks, so much question, hope you understand.

i used a regular walmart brush becuase thats what i have always used. but they recommend one of the foam brushes. i would recommenced taking out the rear would make it an easier job. it sets in about 2 hours which is dry to the touch it takes 5 hours to fully dry. bolts will come out with ease and the paint wont come off the heads.


while its out its a good time to drain the oil and change all of the seals.
