what do i painting the differential housing with?
i need to paint the differential housing for my rover i have cleaned the housings with a wire brush and there is practically no dirt or grim on them.
 I wanted to powder coat them (the rest of the vehicle will be powder coated) but i was told it is not a good idea to take them apart is this true? would pro-15 be the best option? please advise. Thanks, Mat |

Powder coating is not the way to go. It chips too easily and eventually your diffs will look like sh*t. Then, you will find it impossible to find a sandblaster willing to restore it, as the powdercoating does not blast off like paint, it sort of melts off.

Por-15
Not to be redundant, but POR-15 is what we did. A note of caution: Be sure and do the whole process with POR-15. Sandblast (or whatever you choose to get to bare metal - not getting to bare metal defeats the effectiveness), Marine Clean degreaser spray-on, hose off, let dry a day, Metal Ready etching solution, hose off, let dry a day. Now POR-15. Brushing smooths out really nicely. Wait a day. Top coat with a self etching primer and paint of your choice or use their Chassis Topcoat. You won't be disappointed with the outcome.
Failure to follow their entire process limits the effectiveness of POR-15. Follow it and the stuff is some kind of corrosion resistent. We used it on another vehicle over 3 years ago and NO rust yet. We used it on swivel ball housinge, pitman arms, brake drums, door frames, and bulkhead, as well. One final caution: If you get it on you and let it dry, you are going to wear it awhile. I didn't believe it. Beleive it.  visit www.por15.com for more info. Good luck, Greg |
