finally did some work
#1
First weekend in a awhile that be able to so some work. Pretty much just installed some awesome floor mats, and some chromed black exhaust tips ConfusedupergrinConfusedo the body doesn't get any black streaks on it. I spent the majority of the time striping down my dana 44. Got a question what type of paint should i use to repaint the axle housing, hopefully something cheap, strong, and easy to touch up if it gets scraped up?Confusedcratchhe:

I use tractor paint from Tractor Supply on my axles. Just get a good coat of primer on them and let it cure before putting the color on it. Looks great!

looking good...I used POR-15, and I've not been very impressed. Stick to something in a rattle can...cheaper and easier.

What type of gun did you use? Did you thin it to spray or brush it on? I'm going to use a tough enamel like this on my F250 frame and axles over my POR-15 base coat.

I was considering POR-15 for my underbody but if people are complaining about that I may reconsider.

No Problem john Im not to much in a hurry the only reason i need one was I deformed the flange a little when i took it off, it can be fixed but probably safer to replace it.:bdent: Sc74 did you brush on that tractor paint? thanks guys for the comments.:xyxthumbs:
