Diff cover doesnt use a gasket and relies on the flat surface and the huge bolts to get a seal.

Powder coat may upset this I reckon....

Thought I would totaly mask off the joint and inside face, coat it then remove the masking before I bake it off. Silver or black any thoughts

Nice work, I think with your attention to detail your build is going to take a while
I give mine a quick rub down and sprayed it with silver engine paint.

Thanks for the comment .Thats the problem with working in the aircraft industry, especially when you work on multi-million pound corporate jets.
