I've degreased the gearbox on the charger, ready for paint. However what kind of temp does the gearbox get to so I can find the appropriate paint to apply? I was thinking black with silver sump,all black or all silver watcha think?

Many thanx

Never seen one painted. :lol: It'll need etch primer before anything.

Any old rattle can will do, it dosn't get that hot. Black with a silver pan, done that a few times, in fact just did one a couple of days ago...
