I dont know where you put this so i figure I would post it here since its kind of drivetrain related. I just got my rearend back. Just wondering what prep you did and what everyone uses to paint the rearend. Just wanting something durable paint wise so it will last a while.

 

Buy the POR-15 starter kit. Should have everthing for that rear axle assembly. It will last longer then the rear.

 

something like this ?

And would it be enough ?

 

says it covers 6 square feet with 2 coats, that's basically 6 feet by 1 foot, so it should be really close. buy 2 kits so you can paint other stuff on the car as well.

 

I used POR-15 on my IROC's rear end a number of years ago. Still looks great. Recommended.

That is the correct kit and YES it will be more then enough for that project. Stop and think what six square is and then picture the axle housing area, you will have some left over. Also this product dose not store well once it is opened.

 

I just bought some semi gloss black. I will post some pics up when it gets painted. I should have the stuff buy the end of the week.

 

Its all painted up. The super stater kit was more than enough for a rear end.

 

Do you just apply over the rust or do you de-rust it before using por-15 kit. I'm also wanting to paint mine but mine has alot more rust than yours.

 

The super kit comes with two treatments and the paint. 1st is a degreaser and the 2nd is a metal prep for the por-15. Just use everything in the right steps and then paint over the rust with the por-15 and your golden.

 

I'm ordering now thanks. that semi gloss black looks sweet
