Want to refresh the transaxle. Have cleaned and cleaned the exterior but want to maybe paint it to make it look nearly new. Have seen various pix of trans painted with Eastwood paint but search wasn't helpful.
What have people used with decent results? |

It's not aluminum, it's a magnesium alloy. The Cap'n Really...? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) not so sure, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) if it is, its a special "non-flammable" magnesium, since Ive had one go through as intense a fire as you can imagine and while the fan shroud DID burn up completely the trans while discolored was still intact and after cleaning & resealing it is operating in another car.
