Been thinking about painting my rear differential cover.
Back in the day when I didn’t have any responsibilities, some of the guys that I used to hang around with, well, we would paint the differential covers. Made it look cool. Not sure how I’m going to clean it. I know I’ll have to wait till it’s a little warmer out. 173K miles of road grime and surface rust need to be cleaned off. I suspect I’ll use that ‘purple’ degreaser stuff on it, then a wire brush and some mineral spirits to get it ready for paint.
You guys have any other ideas on ‘degreasing’ it? Primer and paint combo?
Fire engine red? Neon Yellow?
