Painting Trans ???????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BP68 · 01-21-2007, 09:50 PM

Hey all. I have a 700R4 trans in my 68 project truck. Running a 4 row factory style radiator with built in trans cooler and dual electric fans.

The trans case looks cruddy after all the paint and chrome went on the engine and frame.

I want to paint it. I have heard this can hinder heat dissipation. Does anyone on here have a painted trans? Any probs? And advice?

I guess that I can see the logic in this, but will it actually change things enough to overheat and kill the trans?
