Painting Rear Axle Tubes
This may be a little off-the-wall, but of course the unfinished rear axle tubes rust. I've sprayed the parts of them that are visible and that I can reach with flat black Rustoleum.
Have you guys done anything about yours? I think Eastwood has some good chasis paints that match factory finishes. Maybe that's the way to go.

I just painted mine with Hammerite. I think it is the best rusty metal paint that I have used, and it dries in just 15 minutes. I do recommend masking-off your axle labels, so you can read them later if required.
As far as using a color other than black, the rear axle just doesn't show that well, so black works just fine.
