So I finally received my PML diff cover. Long frustration and battle with Moe's Performance. This is the as cast version of the diff cover. Anyway, I went to a place named Painters Supply. I took my paint code of my truck to them, Red Brawn. They mixed up a half pint and filled an aersol can full for me. Bought some red oxide primer, recommended by painters supply, got home and started painting the cover. So far it came out awesome! I love it. Looks much better in person than these pics. I am waiting an hour and then Im going to put a couple coats of clear on it. Then I'll install it tomorrow evening. Here are some pics....

pre primer...as cast

red oxide primered...

Thanks guys! I really like how it came out. It looks really good in person and in the daylight. I still have enough paint left in the can. Ill have to take it back to them to fill another aersol can. So i may take the front off and sand the stock one down to bare metal. Then primer and paint it. I need to change the front gear oil anyway.
