well I just got done painting my diff cover a little while ago. Here are a few pics. Do yall think I shouold put a clear coat over top of the chrome paint?

 

looks nice.. not to sure about the clear coat though... I dont think it will hurt but I may be wrong.

Q. Do you oil spray your vehicle every year?

 

what do you mean oil spray?

 

not too bad.....you should hit it with a couple coats of clear......

you should have painted things black before you painted that silver....

 

Looks good.

When I did mine, luckily the trans was out and a new slave and clutch was installed, anywho, when I was doing the swap, I popped off the cover, sandblasted all the old paint off, used self etching primer 4 light coats, about 8 coats of dublicolor chrome, and about 15-20 light coats of glass clear coat. I've had alot of bad luck in the past with that "chrome-in-a-can" crap. It's been on the truck for 20k and it's holding up VERY well.

Throw some clear on that biatch.!

 

rust protection is what i meant.. was just curious.

 

I have never done any rust protection to my truck. I didnt see any rust under the truck when I was painting but there is a lot of mud.

 

We need red clay repellant

 

full line-x on all of our undercarriages. lol.

 

looks awesome.
you do it on the truck? just tape it off

i would put some clear on it.

 

I just used some newspaper and duct tape. masking take doesnt stick to red clay that well.

 

that looks real good man...good job on the paint

 

All you hae to do is pick up an aluminum 8.8 cover from a Crown Vic..Polish it up..shines like chrome and never rusts..

Mine is shown on my cardomain page..
