I have a few quick questions regarding powder coating which stem from 
the fact my
oil pan looks poor at best.   Powder coating would be nice.

1) Is there any problems with powder coating an oil pan?  Will the 
coating stand
up to the heat and oil?

2) Typically, the  way powder coating works ( I think), the inside of 
the pan
would be coated too.   Is there a problem with this?  Also, do you 
leave the
drain plug in place to keep the powder out of the threads?  Same with 
the
temperature sender threads?

3) On some powder coated parts I have seen the material looks like it 
is applied really thick.
Can this be varied?  I just want it to look like a painted part... not 
one that has been
encapsulated in plastic.

Thanks for the advice.
