Hello,
What do you guys do with modified or new metal oil pans? I mean on the inside, where the oil sits..
I'm a bit cautious to paint it as the paint may dissolve in the oil.maybe zinc plating? Or powdercoating in and out?
Would leaving it bare metal cause problems? Car is used very regular so oil will splash around all the time.

I normally give them a good coat of oil on assembly so they don't rust from the inside out. 👍

Its getting oil in it, leave it bare metal and don't worry about it. Protect the outside a lot, it'll be in a much more unpleasant environment.

It still confuses me this and I build engines for a job. They're painted from the factory, the paint doesn't come off in use. I put the same sump in the hot wash that is roughly the same temperature as oil is and if you leave it in too long the paint comes off.
I leave them bare BTW, never tried painting one to see what happens in use.

Leave it bare. If it was a casting I might paint it with glyptol tho. That's the only thing you should be painting the inside of an engine with.
