Dude that looks good. I just sent my case and tail housing off to be powder coated. My face plated setup came in last week so when the case comes back I'll be assembling.

Damn……. Now I feel like I have to pull my transmission out and paint it.
Honestly though, how do you prep all the corners and crevices in the trans to make the paint stick. Wire brushes on a drill?

I glass beaded the whole case then hit it with a red scuff pad by hand to get it prepped.
Then adhesion promoter and epoxy. Not a big deal at all. I work smarter now. Not harder
