Hi all, I have some W/T diffs for my ute but they need a coat of paint. Whats the best stuff to use? Was just going to use supercheap chassis paint but i've heard POR15 is the best? Rich |

I use ordinary crap black paint. It stays black, but loses its quality after a few dirty trips. And needs to be painted after a few trips worth of diff scratching and smashing. |

Bunnings have dropped the Killrust brand. They only sell White Knight. Killrust is available thru Mitre10, Super Cheap Auto (who have a sale on the stuff this week!) and Lowes. |

Note - Killrust is just a brand. There is no 'killing of rust' or any rust protection that goes on, any better than any other spray can paint that is. |

i used black "RustGuard" spray cans on my rear bumper about 4 years ago - while its faded to a dark grey matt finish, there's certainly no signs of corrosion - and considering i used it as both paint and primer with no clear coat i think thats pretty impressive. I use the same stuff to touch up my front bar and also to touch up scrapes on the body... The rustguard packaging does say that it has a chemical reaction to prevent rust, never looked into it properly - it may well just be paint, but it does seem to do the trick. |

I vote KillRust too. The benefit comes from its durability, also the finish stays good for a very long time |

Yes Wayne Killrust is just a brand name but it is an Alkyd Enamel which is a lot different paint to your run of the mill general purpose aerosol paints. Hence 3 X the price. Killrust works fine without a primer, how long do you think regular aerosol paint without primer will keep your parts from rusting? Not long at all. Killrust, Rustguard, White Knight, Rustoleum... There are quite a few brands of the same stuff. |

Sweet I've got half a tin of white knight stuff left over from interior. Looks like the diffs will be charcoal metallic! |
