Making a list of things to do this spring. One is to paint the rear axle housing and driveshaft.

I've done this on other cars I had, and it looks nice. Plain old Rustolium thinned just a little and a roller brush seems to work well for the first coat (thinning seems to help it penetrate layer of rust well) . After the first coat, I just roll it on straight.

Anyone else paint these parts?
