Unfortunately the NV4500 is not a quiet transmission either. Mine has a groan in 4th between 1600-1800 rpms particularly when going up hill. Read many threads and it seems to be the nature of the beast. I’m learning how to control the noise by adjusting driving habits.
Try Krylon Fusion All in One paint. I used it when I painted everything black during the SOA swap and it sprayed nice, dried fast and wasn’t tacky. I did it outside in winter and it was touchable in 10-15 minutes. Rustoleum was still tacky the next day.
