Re: Transmission Paint...?
Paint it any color you want!
 I painted it like the rest of the truck: Epoxy primer, then Martin Senour single stage (although most of the truck is base/clear, which I could have done here too).

Re: Transmission Paint...?
The trans above is too nice to put under a truck. I would build a glass topped coffee table and admire it in my den/mancave.
I brought a couple cans of primer and semi gloss black rustoleum to the trans shop after they rebuilt mine. They put the completed trans in their fancy washer cabinet and rattle canned it after it had dried and was still warm. So far it looks good. |

Re: Transmission Paint...?
holy cow, nice looking trans. I would be afraid to install in case it got a mark on it.

Re: Transmission Paint...?
I painted mine the same color as the engine, Detroit Diesel Alpine Green. Unless you are doing a stock restoration, there really is no "wrong" color...
