After a lot of time and effort i stripped and cleaned the rust from the rear differential, the leaf springs, the axle, and the driveshaft. Since they are now nice and clean I wanted to protect them. What is the best method to protect them ...should I paint them?
thanks,

Of course you could always have them powder coated a bright orange. That would be cool!
