Twistedrx7 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Not sure what i could use to recoat the inside of my oil pan, it started to rust a little bit from being out and sitting. Would it be better to sand blast it and just oil it up or is there something i can coat the inside with that wont flake off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 sand blast and oil. I wouldn't want anything in my oil pant that isn't oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedrx7 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 stop being cheap and replace it if its rusting...thats not something you want to skip on surface rust my friend, just a faint hint. i already sanded and primed it to stop it from building up more.

Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 surface rust my friend, just a faint hint. i already sanded and primed it to stop it from building up more. not my car. goodluck. also, going off of mensan said....teflon can still flake, eaton blowers on the lightnings had rotors coating in teflon and they flake badly, clog up intercoolers etc...when you have a blower worked, the companies strip the teflon off of the rotors you could look into a graphite coating like they used in the 03/04 cobra superchargers on the rotors, its supposed to never flake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Oil Paint!?!? Seriously, I wouldn't think a properly painted surface would be an issue. Guys used to paint their lifter galleys to improve oiling all the time back in the day with seemingly no ill effects. You damn sure don't want it flaking off though.

Twistedrx7 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 yeah i dont really want to paint, i thought about powdercoat but that flakes too sometimes, along with any typ of paint. Ill just sand blast it and oil it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 you can polish those too instead of painting them...not sure why someone would paint them!!! Yeah, The idea back then was that it fills in some of the porosity and makes it "slicker" (rather than polishing it smooth like most people do nowadays). I have never done it, just saying that some people do/did with seemingly no ill effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 don't sandblast the insdie of that pan you'll never get the sand out buff the rust spots with steel wool and a lite oil then wipe the pan dry and hose it down with wd40 to keep it from rusting again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan1647545506 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 bead blast would be fine, then throw it in the parts washer and use an air hose. Worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
