12 Bolt Rear - Black Powder Coat Finish or Black Paint?
Hello guys,
Looking for some guidance. I have a 12-bolt rear with the axles and bearings out. I want to give it a good finish before re-installing the new bearings and axles and installing in the car. The ring and pinion and the posi unit are still in. I plan on rag backing the ends and then sand blast all the grime and old paint off.
After that I want to paint it or powder coat it. I have local guys that can do either. My question is that if I powder coat (which requires a heat treatment to melt the power app) do I risk damaging and components in the housing? The powder coating is a better finish but if the heat will raise any issue then I will go for the paint.
Any thought on this? Thanks.
