Fabricated LSX oil pan finish- you decide.

[TitoJones]

Boys and Girls-

We have decided against zinc plating our oil pans because it is getting hard to find a decent company to do it in a reasonable time frame.

We have decided on two options- The first is a light gray powdercoating that looks very OEM like and matches the rest of the LSX factory parts.

The second option is one my fabricator thought of after he used scotch-brite on the entire pan. We then had it cleared with powder coating. I like this one because it shows the amazing TIG welds he is able to lay down. they look like a tiny stack of dimes laid out.

I liked the Zinc, but understand the timing requirements. I voted clear. I like to see those amazing welds too.

What material is the pan made from? If it's any kind of mild steel, count me in the gray powdercoat vote. If it's stainless, then I'll vote clear.

Clear. The look is awesome! Something to aspire to in my own welding!

[Patrick]

Clear!!

[Motown 454]

I vote clear and they are awsome welds

[BA.]

I'm lucky enough to say I have one of those and the welds are absolutely beautiful.

I think it should be clear finish, hands down. The pics look great!

[James OLC]

My vote would have to be the clear!

Almost as much bling as those fancy spindles.

[z4me69]

clear

[CamaroAJ]

clear, but what would be even sicker is if you left the heat marks from when it was welded.

[MrQuick]

i vote for semi or flat black and a clear coat natrual option.

[chicane67]

Ill second that Vince...

[WS6]

Well, I think clear looks awesome, and if you can only choose one go with that one. However, why not offer a second option? Maybe a black like Vince mentioned or even an uncoated one in case someone wants to chrome theirs or powder coat it a different color entirely. I wouldn't hide those welds though.

i vote for semi or flat black and a clear coat natrual option.

+1

welds are insane!

[Damn True]

What he said.

[B Schein]

Why are you welding everyting with silicon bronze have you had trouble with the out side corner welds cracking? Quality fabrication, I would paint it black.

[nancejd]

I voted for grey, but I think black would be even better. Something that would hide road grime and oil well would be my first choice.

[68Formula]

I like the powdercoating idea, but the gray is too industrial-looking.

[CarlC]

i vote for semi or flat black and a clear coat natrual option.

:headbang:

[justanova]

I voted clear, but black would be a good option. Not really diggin the gray.

[Rick Dorion]

Brushed stainless - no coating. Nothing to chip, beautiful welds in full view!

[kurider]

The clear all the way!!
