Well after I striped down my filter and wiped it down I agree with you all
that it is metal. I am going original on my 46 1/2 ton and have the large
oil filter. I have been told the filter should be semi-gloss black. I have
a few questions:
MAKE THE PAINT STICK
I am only spraying out of shake cans so my question is what do I do to make
the paint stick. I have cleaned this off the best I can however I am
concerned that it is still oil covered.
I have filled the hole on the bottom of the pan using DW Weld. And have
sanded it down - looks great - wonderful solution - THANKS LIST.
WHAT SHOULD BE PAINTED
I think the top unit should have the top painted and around the sides down
to where the filter starts - but nothing else.
I think the bottom unit should only be painted on the outside and I should
NOT spray the INSIDE of this filter.
Would the paint be broken down by the oil and cause a problem inside the
filter element? Any other problems or issues that I am not asking about?
WHAT OIL TO USE IN THE BATH
What is the correct oil to use in this bath?
Thanks,
