Yes, mine back one was all rusted and my muffler was discolored as well.

I bought a rattle can of flat black high-temp barbecue paint and sprayed them both.

I didn't even mask anything off. The black treatment underneath on a Yellow and Black Jeep worked great!

Just get a set of Riddler or Solid diff covers and paint them, trust me they look much better than the stock covers.
