      I got all the surface rust off mine, used that rust treatment primer, then hit it with some engine paint.

              Do the diff cover gasket.

              Or better yet, don't.

                          Seriously? You're fucking special. It's called masking tape.

                              You don't want to paint the aluminum cover.. Painting it will reduce it's ability to shed heat
