Just about to change my gearbox an i want to paint it silver before it goes back in. I want to get a finish like the paint they use on the superchargers. Does anyone know what paint they use of them??

allow wheel paint... ;) straight silver stuff, you can get it at most car parts shops cheap, and it's heat and oil resistant once dry... 8)

Although it doesn't seem to be engine degreaser/cleaner resistant as I noticed when I used Gunk cleaner in my engine bay after an oil leak!

Its probably because of the amount of dirt accumulated over the years, best thing to do if its off the vehicle (and finance allow) is to stoneblast and then powder coat.

Is it feasible to clean it up with a wire brush attachment in a drill and then simply degrease and spray? Can you also get a laquer that may also be gunk-proof?
