Actually the spray can does appear to suggest with ally you should use their (special metals?)primer before.
But I take it you think it's ok without?

you would normaly need the undercoat to etch into the metal, but your diff being a casting the surface is not smooth so the paint will stick... mine
did...

so hamerrite is working for you Viper?
After using it a bit I have decided its crap.
Its like painting with epoxy glue. It chips off and it streaks. It also takes 6 weeks between coats. According the the website, if an objects too hot
to touch, its too hot for hammerite.
not very good really.
I used it on my bell housing and engine brackets, and I think next time I will use something else.
