Couldn't find any threads for anyone who has successfully powder coated their transaxle case?
I'm also looking for a good side shift transaxle case to try coating in the Seattle area? Any hints? Thanks, Steve |

My car spent its first 30 years in Connecticut. Hell hole, right long, sail panels, and a few smaller spots here or there looked like swiss cheese before restoration. I rebuilt the tranny two years ago at one of the Doc's tranny clinics. I have to say the tranny case is in great shape.
Sure, magnesium corrodes as does aluminum. But I'm not worried about the tranny or engine case - I'm leery of other body rust cropping up... |
