Default Rear End Paint Schemes

Ok, let's see some of those fancy rear end paint jobs... What did you use for paint, and is it holding up without getting chipped up? Will powder-coating be the most durable?

Hey Chris,

Not a great pic, but should give you an idea Chris. I need to update the pic since I installed the halfshaft safety loops on Saturday ;) .

2 pics of a friends rear we did (we did the entire front & rear suspension during 5 tech/wrench meetigs from our club) because he had really worn bushings.

The black is mainly powdercoat and some por15. The silver is rust-o-leum hardhat topcoat on their primer/basecoat (both industrial grade)
