New Paint!

I was tired of seeing my rusted driveshaft, so I got some Arizona beige paint from the parts store and went to town!

Waiting on it to dry so I can color sand it and clear it. Ill post more when its all done

I love my aluminum!

Good job on the paint though. It's gonna look sweet when you get it back on.

I'll keep my rusty steel shaft, - the aluminum's are too fricken weak. Hell, I'm still running the original u-joints after 270,000 miles.
