PAINTING

Painting over cardan shafts can improve the results indefinitely. It’s not just meant for aesthetics or a simple colour change. In the case of metals, metal paint serves multiple purposes.
◻ PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS
Depending on where cardan shaft is located, it will get subjected to heat, water, and other conditions. These aspects can take a toll on any cardan shaft (some worse than others). Paint doubles up as a shield to prevent exposure to the elements.
◻ REDUCE CORROSION
Corrosion refers to the gradual destruction of materials from chemical or electrochemical reactions caused by certain environments. When paint is used, it forms a layer of protection that prevents corrosion. It may not be that thick, but it is a dependable layer that prevents outside chemicals from interacting with the steel. Therefore, ensuring the cardan shafts are more durable in the long run.
◻ FOR SECURITY PURPOSE
Bright colors such as red and yellow for cardan shafts mean: Be careful, it is dangerous.
Painting is a great, low-cost way to protect against rust. The paint forms a protective barrier between the metal and corrosive elements. Oil-based paints are the best choice if you are trying to prevent water and oxygen from penetrating the metal and causing corrosion.
