My diff covers and my transmission oil pan on my 2010 JKUR are starting to get a little surface rust so I decided to clean them all up and paint them, my question is how hot does the diffs and trans oil pan get? Is it okay to slap on regular paint, or do you think I need to use high temp paint?

I've painted my rear diff several times using Rustoleum professional gloss black with no problems and its very durable. Regular spray paint, non high heat.

Plasticoat Engine Enamel is a good paint, holds up to the heat and lays on thick.
