Hello all....
While laying on my garage floor I was continuing to clean the underside of the car and decided to wipe down the oil pan. As I was cleaning it, I noticed that there was no colour/paint on it. Were the oil pans painted and, if so, what colour were they? What paint should I use especially since these are subjected to oil drippings and such /
Thanks,
Cliff

The oil pans were indeed painted and they were painted the same color of the engine....dark blue-gray. You can get the correct engine paint from the Filling Station.

Hey JunkYardDogJunkYardDog
If I pull the oil pan will the gasket be reusealble or should I replace it ? Can I make my own gasket or should I order one up and go NOS ?

The pan is to be painted engine color. You can obtain the correct color and type paint from the Filling station.

On the oil pan gaskets, definitely use new gaskets and you can get those from the Filling Station as well.
