Default Bedlined diffs and housing?
Has anyone done it? I'm thinking of hitting my housings with some spray on bedliner, and might do some riddler diff covers while I'm at it. Anyone done it? Or does anyone have a reason it shouldn't be done?

Cheap gloss paint will wash off easier than textured bedliner

Don't do it. It sucks if you ever have to do any work on it in the future.

Agreed. We usually rattle can all our under rig parts. It makes touch up a breeze!

Alright, so I'll most likely hit the housings with some high heat flat black, any negatives to bedlining the diff covers?

No need for high heat, axle does not get hot. IMHO I would just find some cheap black rattle can as if you wheel you will need to touch up often
