Ive never ever heard of someone denting their diff covers at all??? is it even a common thing? I thought thats why you have spotters to put your tires on rocks, not your diffs on rocks....
I've scratched mine plenty but never have came close to hitting them hard enough to dent them

I think the red does look cool and it's one reason I chose to get the ARBs over the Solids (although not the only reason). However, I bought them primarily for the purpose of protecting my differentials - an expensive lesson I learned after destroying my D30 differential in my '05 TJ. Although I wouldn't go out of my way to paint something to make it look cooler or to pose as though I have after-market mods, if he wants to do it, go for it! After all, thousands of Hummer owners do it everyday!

Jesus people. Leave it alone. He wants to do something that he thinks will make his Jeep look better ... is he the only one on here who has done something to the Jeep purely for looks? There's a whole string on this site about people's stickers. Are those stickers strategically placed for their protective capabilities? No, it's for looks and to make a statement.
People with chromed out jeeps don't take this much heat in here. All he asked about was a painted diff cover. I would bet there's more than one person who has purchased the ARB cover solely because they thought the red would look cool.

Just powder coat them. If I had access to a powder coater I'd get all kinds of stuff coated. Get the ARB's, and have them powder coated to match your jeep, that would really set you apart, and you'd stop getting picked on for mall crawlin'.
