Gloss Black. I don't mean the ultra-gloss that you see on the new autos.
I use Dupont Centari and it works pretty well. For preparation, I have
the axle housings dipped at a commercial metal cleaning facility. I DO
NOT recommend sandblasting, because it takes forever to wash out the
grit inside the housing. When I receive them, they look just like new.
You could apply a coat of black epoxy like PPG DPLF 90, then the Centari
black.
