I think painted diffs and rear axle shafts look great in bright yellow, gloss black, or gloss Ford blue.
You can also get chrome, including with a Ford logo and those look good too.
Rather than a smiley face, I would put a monster teeth or war face decal or something like that.
It's an F150, not a VW new beetle.

Im going to be undercoating my truck in the spring and changing the diff fluid and plan on painting mine too. Im blacking out my truck, so not sure what color I should paint it, but might put a Browning logo on the cover.
