Best method to clean these parts.....

[ImysE30]

As above:





Was thinking of powdercoating the prop and diff red after cleaning?

TIA

[m_jermyn]

Mix kerosene and degreaser 50/50 and also mineral turpentine with a brush...

[ImysE30]

Mineral turpentine? What's that?

[Rav335uk]

Normal Turpentine Imy

What you think of powdercoating RED?

Yes,
And each to their own, remember, your car, do what you want to.

[ImysE30]

I'll give it ago, it's safe to use right, won't do any damage?

True, how much would it cost to get the diff and prop done ?

[Rav335uk]

Get what done????

[ImysE30]

Get them powdercoated.

[leeparkes]

Do them Gold

[ImysE30]

I'm thinking red because i'll be going with a red interior

[B7]

Yeah, The red diff and prop will compliment a red interior really well

[kman82]

No Imy, I reckon that will look awful. But each to his own.

have them done silver or black if your going to

[don2009]

I agree... go for black

plug up any holes , tin of gunk thats its name , leave on for about 1/2 hour get into any awkward spots with a brush , jet it off , paint it what ever colour you fancy, but black /silver would be better.

i recently did a diff- autoglym engine cleaner, from halfords , is excellent stuff - also brilliant to do the enginbe bay with that, and a hose/watering can, all around the whole bay,work in with brush- rinse off - comes up brilliant and clean !

the diff- with powder coating it has to be baked in the big oven , so not sure its wise to put a diff in an oven !!! , i painted mine black, with hammerite smooth black, tin paint, from halfords , 2 coats on there, looks good and came up new, that also is a "direct to metal/rust" paint, so no need to prep it

If you go for powdercoating let me know where you go mate

I would say black with silver back plate always looks good on the diff
