I am basically doing a complete restoration on every part of my car. The trans is back burnered for now so I got a very nice used trans from mepstein and cleaned it up. So looking for opinion. I am going to replace all the hardware because its cheap and helps to make it look nicer. I was going to paint it with cerakote then change the hardware. Now I am second guessing the paint. What do all of you think?

Note that my other trans will get a full rebuild and cosmetic restoration at a later date.Attached Image
