will regular gloss red spary paint work with clear coat over it or will the diff get to hot for this paint?

 

I think you'll be fine, but I bought red caliper paint when I did mine anyway. It was only like a two bucks more than the regular Dupli at the auto parts store. Bought enough to do the calipers too, but I ain't got a damn jack or set of stands tall enough to clear the tires off the ground. LOL.

I hit it with a quick coat of adhesion promoter first and the paint really stuck well.

I did mine on the truck, just taped it really well and draped an old blanket above it. I was only about 3800 miles into the new diff fluid when I decided to do it, so I was not about to remove it so my bolts are painted as well as the plug. So when it's diff fluid time, I know I'll have to pry the plug and break the paint seal on the bolts. I already have a purdy set of stainless allen head bolts to go in when I change the fluid next time.








AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS A WORD, THE DECAL ON THE SLIDING WINDOW HAS BEEN SCRAPED OFF. Just waiting on the new decal to arrive to stick it on...

 

thanks hammer for the info really appreciate it

 

theres def tougher stuff but it will prolly hold up for a bit

 

red diff cover on a white truck = ricey

Looks good, I like it....

 

I used engine enamel on my rear end , I figured it would hold up better

 

I used the engine enamel as well with two coats of primer. Its holding up well. I think regular paint will be okay as long as it is prepped well.

 

i used engin enamel red on mine looks like the day it was sprayed ..and the red on white truck comment lol tell me mine looks ricey

 

Paint for outdoor grills should work, too. Back when I lived next to Fred Flintstone, I painted the wheels on my Chevy with engine paint.
