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

TIA

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

Mineral turpentine? What's that?

Normal Turpentine Imy

Like this? Never heard of it before.

What you think of powdercoating RED?

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

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 ?

Get what done????

Get them powdercoated.

Do them Gold

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

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

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

have them done silver or black if your going to

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
