At the stage of restoring my 57 bird and was wondering what the majority vote is for the rear axle gear housing color.  I've read forums where they say it should be Krylon "Red Oxide Primer",  which is impossible to get, I guess they took it off the market cuz the fumes were dangerous to breath.  But....I've seen the actual primer in person from a steel fabrication company and it's not even close to the color that is on my gear housing.  My paint color has more red in it than the primer from Krylon.

Sooooooooo, what is everybody else using out there?

thanks
