My diffs are looking a bit ordinary, whilst still on the vehicle I am thinking of using a brush to paint them with chassis black. Does anybody reccomend another method for painting them whilst on the vehicle?

I would just give them a good degrease with some decent quality degreaser then soap and water then I would use a spray can of gloss black and give a couple of coats even 3 if there's enough in the can, dont forget to cover where you dont want overspray, can even give the back of the drums a touch up as
well, did this to my'n 2 years ago and stiil looks good. I think using a brush will look worse than what they probably look now, but then I'm fussy as
well. Regards Steve M

Hi Baybreeze,
Engine paint is very good, every few years I would degrease / pressure clean the underside of my old Troopy and use Matt Black. Its high temp resistant and comes in spray pack.
I used it on my sunraisa rims also, it seemed vey stone chip resistant.
As mentioned dont forget to mask areas you dont want painted this stuff is sticky.
Toorak tractors dont have to paint as they dont go offroad. Cops look for un maintained vehicles ( poor paint or appearance ) to prey on so painting is a good idea. Eveyone has there own ideas of what makes a fourby look good some like rust and stone chips because its " hardcore " LOL : )
