Rusty Rear Dust Shields and Diff Cover.
I installed a G80 locking differential into my 2000 GMC Jimmy. In the process the rear disc brake shields and diff cover were very rusty. I pulled 2 dust shields from the junk yard and blasted, epoxy primed, spray painted flat black and coated with 2K Clear. See attached pics.

Looks good!
For what it's worth, they're pretty cheap brand new on RockAuto, AC Delco brand at that lol https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...14a90fdfe4.jpg I even got all fancy with my new diff cover and painted it race red :D https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...abef361d1c.jpg |
The junkyard dust shields cost me $12 for the pair. I had all the material and time to refinish the dust shields and diff cover.
I used my labor instead of my cash to get the same outcome. Your original dust shields were really toast. I like the diff cover painted red. |
