Adjustable front axle painting, what to prime and paint?
Wide front 1948 C. I will be disassembling it because tie rod end rubber is shot.

Paint outside of outboard tube (usually a solid bar of steel)? Seems reasonable.
Prime/ Paint inside the center tube? How? With a mop or sponge?
If a tight fit, don't paint anything where tubes overlap?
If not, then what, grease up the inside of tube? Just paint outside after reassembly?

I guess same questions could apply to the tie rods.
Thanks
