Axle temperature of a Ford F350 Superduty truck?

Question

Does anyone know where to find the estimated axle temperature of a Ford F350 Superduty truck?

I want to use a roll on Rustoleum paint, but it says not to use on surfaces that reach 200 degrees farenheit.

Spray paint is not an option for us at this point because the axle will have to be painted while on the truck and sitting outside. We are worried about overspray, which is why we are trying to use a roll on.

Answer 1

The axle does not get anywhere near that temperature. If you really want to be safe though many paint makers make gloss black rust paint for bbq grills.. You could use that. We use standard gloss black spray paint . The over spray really is not an issue under a car unless its a custom car your showing. We have never had a over spray issue. There is a new product on the market that we have not tried yet thats puts a thin plastic coating on as well. That should work as well and might last a little longer. http://www.rustoleum.com/Product.asp?ddf=162&frm_product_id=18&SBL=1

Answer 2

I would use engine spray paint, just to be safe...
