I want to discourage you from powder coating the oil pan, unless you  
completely block off all internal areas that are exposed to oil.  I had it  
done, and 
the sandblasting media got trapped in the baffles.  I cleaned the  oil pan 
thoroughly after powder coating, but was unable to remove all of the  
sandblasting media material. Consequently, my recently rebuilt U-20 motor  
seized.  You 
might want to try painting the outside of your oil pan  instead.
