Was wondering if painting it may preserve it better and make it last longer

 

[Goober]

Rustoleum makes a paint that dries in 3 hours and cures in 24. If you don’t do corrosion control now you won’t get a better opportunity

I paint mine after I install them, but its easier to do with them out .

Appreciate the info goober, I just received the last part of complete rear end rebuild and knew I had to do something with the axle b4 rust started in

 

[Bamabreeze]

Yeah figured while it's out would b the best time to do so if needed..is there a clear coat or do I need to use a color

this rear axle ?, opss..I thought these were front axles..sorry . I don't paint rear axles, if the seals are good ?, then nothing should get in there to rust them !.

black on front axles, as I said..i don't paint rear axles, unless they are exposed to air ?, which all mine are in tubes..soooo...lol.

Yeah its rear axle on 300ex..I've had lots trouble out of rust with old axle..it pitted in some places pretty bad and didn't want new one looking like that in near future if possible

I use Rustoleum rust reformer as a primer and then the Fast Dry Professional High Performance Gloss Black. Yeah thems a lotta words but it’s $5 a can
Always remove dirt and loose paint. Sand the scaley areas with 100 grit wet and dry. Then wash off all grit and (just before painting) tack with a lint free cloth wetted with paint thinner.
Even rattle can application can be tricky
