8 3/4 Differential Rebuild/Restoration

[robl72]

I just had my 8 3/4 Diff for my 69 Charger rebuilt and bead blasted natural. Looking on opinions on what I should do next to preserve the natural finish for the long term and keep rust off.

Choice #1 VHT Satin Clear coat?

or

Choice #2 Rust Preventative Magic?

Feedback is greatly appreciated!

I always thought these were either painted semi or gloss black. If keeping natural I like VHT personally

Pumpkin was never painted. Natural cast.

I blasted and cleared the ones I've done..

Thanks for the feedback guys. I actually went with RPM for no other reason than my AutoZone was out of VHT satin clear. I just wanted to get the diff Installed so I used the RPM I had on hand. Actually came out better than i expected. We’ll see how long it stands up.

Center section I agree, thought we were talking carrier housing

I ran Seymour's Cast Blast on mine. Like you say I'll see how long it holds up.
