Tranny Paint
SO what color should I paint the tranny? The pan cleaned up nice and I painted it Chevy Orange.
So, for the case, Orange, Black...any suggestions?

When I rebuild them I paint them a dark metalic gray. Customers love the color.

That looks very nice.
I think I'll go silver to match my Batwing rearend. I used bumper chrome in a can and clear on top of that, came out pretty nice.
