Re: Does this look ok or stupid
if you look at my avatar, you will understand the next few words. On my Chevelle, I powdercoated the trans case before the rebuild. It turned out a gray color, but sure was easy to clean it when it got dirty. I might have painted it a more aluminium color, but like you said, the Tcase is going to be black, so I do not think it will look too bad.

Re: Does this look ok or stupid
I think it looks good, a little bright for my tastes though. The one problem I see is it will show every speck of dirt, but whos lookin anyway?!?!

Re: Does this look ok or stupid
Looks fine to me, atleast if you ever get a leak, you'll be able to see where it's coming from!

Re: Does this look ok or stupid
I did my wheels with the aluminum paint like your transmission. I then hit them with a clear paint it toned them down very nicely. You might try that it is a easy fix.

Re: Does this look ok or stupid
That grey reminds me of boat engines. I usually use a dull aluminum spray paint from Krylon for any cast aluminim parts. I think they changed it to Matte Aluminim but should be the same product. Walmart has it. Works awesome. Eastwood carries a cast aluminum paint, too. Never used it, though.
