I noticed my drive shaft was rusted while under the truck installing my rear lift. Anybody ever paint there's?

Yes but be careful. You can cause vibrations if it's uneven. Unlikely, but just be cautious

 

I painted mine, no vibrations here.

I grabbed a can of Arizona beige to match my two tone. I took that pic before color sanding, and a couple of clear coats.

 

Really???

My Scab's drive shaft is aluminum.

 

I painted mine too, no vibrations also. Rusteoleum (or however you spell it) primer then a coat of black, then a coat of clear coat. Been holding up fine for about two years now, no more rust haha. But I didn't take mine off to do it, I just laid under the truck, painted what was visible, then backed the truck up some so it'd rotate, and repeat haha.

 

Corrosion X worked for me. No more rust.

 

My bro-n-law just got a 10' Screw, and it's not aluminum. It's was rusted just like my 12'.

 

Scews have a 2pc driveshaft,steel, Scabs have a 1 pc, aluminum.

After 3yr, 3 months, no rust and even the inspection stickers are still stuck.

 

Regular cabs (at least 2011+) have the two-piece driveshaft made of steel. Rusted as usual!

 

My 2011 MY F150 has an aluminum one piece shaft.

 

I painted mine as well. I used Eastwood's Extreme Chasis Black Gloss. Looks great and no vibration.
