Hate your grey differential dust covers....here's a great way to change them to the color you want.
Before you start this project order a new differential o-ring you will probably need to replace it before you put the gear back in.
Get the plastic dust covers off (do both). Mask off the area that don't need painted.
Scuff up the surfaces that need to be painted with fine grit sand paper or a green scratch pad.
Now here's the differance from just painting them. Use canned rubberized undercoating for the first couple layers. Let it dry fully and you are ready to rattle-can them whatever color you want.
I did mine "cherry" red which looks good (atleast I think) with my black differential and red pinstripes on the black rims.
Put everthing back together (I'm sure there is a thread for that), stand back and admire your work.:eusa_dance:
Hope this helps,
Darren
