Now time to get lazy and paint the tranny!!!! Grind all the nasties off, sand it progressively from 80 grit to 2000 grit and polish it!!!! I've done a couple that way, they do polish up fairly nice.. Painting works great too, even used bc/cc over epoxy primer on them with no problems.....JFK on the lazy part!!!Quote:

I think this is the way to go for the tight clearance from having the monster engine in there!.Quote:

Let us know what you think when it arrives. :D

I painted my engine with PPG primer, PPG paint, and then shot PPG clear on it when I did my rebuild... 3000 miles on it, hi compression motor (meaning is generates some heat) and it looks just as good now as when I painted it...Quote:

So if it can handle the heat from the engine, I'm sure it will work fine on the transmission.
I used rattlecan high heat paint on the transmission, and it to is holding up just fine...

very nice. Red and black mack for a striking combo!
Over the last several years I have painted transmissions and engines with acrylic enamel, lacquer, and basecoat / clearcoat urethanes. I used ordinary lacquer type primer under all of them. All of them did fine on engines and transmissions. The lacquer was probably the least durable, that is, it chipped easily compared to the others. All of them held up pretty well against the engine heat. The only problem spot was the siamese exhaust ports on small block Chevys; the paint tends to burn there, but so does regular spray-can engine enamel. Bottom line is everything must be very clean or the paint will blister when it gets hot.:rolleyes: :3dSMILE:
