Im replacing the final drive with a 4.77 and i have a diff waiting to get put in, i was cleaning the diff up and was thinking about getting the differential cover, The alloy part with the fins, now i know the fins are there for heat dissipation and i am not sure weather getting it coated is going to be keeping heat in rather than dissipating it. Will it be okay to get it done ? I was thinking about dark bronze as Im getting wheels done that colour and will not cost anything to get cover done the same colour.

 

Use a thermal paint. Although powdercoating is more durable, it will be a pain to touch up

 

so it wont affect the dissipation that much ? it just to make it look clean and neat

 

it wont affect temp, but you wont even see it so not sure why even bother painting it

 

am just anal like that, I like everything fresh and new looking, all seals are getting replace so nice to put it back on the car painted, or am i just being weird.

 

do it. i'd use some high temp powder just to be safe.

pics when you're done!!

 

will do mate, getting it done on Wednesday along with my wheels Dark bronze on GPW=win

 

Don't expect that paint to last long if you use your diff as the rear jacking point...

 

I used por 15 on my last car. it looked good like day I painted for 5yrs before I sold it
