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. |

Painted in Cerakote titanium.. Only because thats what I had laying around. Ben, What Cerakote product was this? How much Cerakote did this take? Was it two part or one part? How did you apply it? I ask because the Cerakote web site has several different products, some two part and some single part. Also a brief internet check shows Cerakote being sold in 4 oz portions, while most aerosol paints are sold in 12 oz cans. Thanks. And sorry for so many questions. |
