Mid year differential, driveshaft, and half shafts finish protection

[Jef S.]

I have the rear of the driveline out and media blasted. What is the best product to coat and rust protect and look somewhat correct for these unpainted rear end and driveline parts?

Jef, I used satin clear spray paint, Can be brought a Home Depot, or Lowes. Just put a couple of light coats,

Jef,

A media blasted finish is not typical of either the drive or half shafts, so preserving it with a coating would not help much. The shafts had a smooth surface not unlike brand new tubing.
