Should I leave the oil pan natural color or paint it black like the shortblock? I will be removing the Moroso decals. If I leave it natural I will spray it with clear engine paint for protection. LMK what you think. Thanks

 

all natural

 

Leave it natural and go with your paint protection plan

Pink gets my vote, because you will feel like a girl when i drag you down the road.





















LOL, JK, i love the look it has now, sets just right with the heads.

 

Maybe I'll stop by the "Holiday Inn" and tell some of my buddies that are in there to treat you like a girl. LOL

P.S. Sprayed it with clear today and am going to finish up (pump,windage tray) and button up bottom end.

 

I dont go to montrose, sorry

Pics of said job or ban!

 

Well,cleaned and prepped pan and sprayed with Krylon Hi-Temp clear paint. Took the shine off the zinc finish. Looks Ok,but be forewarned that it is NOT clear. Should have left as is. Now has a dull alum.-like finish. Got pump,windage tray and pan installed with ARP 12-pt. bolts. Here are your pics Zane. P.S. It is a bit darker in natural light,flash makes it lighter in color.

 

Kind of a bummer Larry, still not bad, but i might go ahead and paint it black now.

 

Called Krylon,they said it is paint,not clear. Can was mislabled. Came out clear then turned kind of milky. So I'll just redo it. They are sending me a can of primer,clear,and black to make amends,plus refunding what I paid for the can of clear. I'll take it to work and strip it.

 

That is very cool of them, i am impressed they did that. But it is a great way to show good business.

Hope you get it looking right, how you going to strip it?

 

Have a good paint stripper at work that isn't harsh on the metal. Paint will rinse off with water then I'll start over. It's always something.

 

That's a bummer. I agree with ZONES89RS. Implement Plan B................BLACK PAINT.

 

Well,got some spray on paint stripper and sprayed pan. After sitting for about ten minutes paint wiped off with a paper towel and looks like new. Heres the results. Also zinc coating is good as is, no clear spray needed,per Moroso tech.
