What type of paint/enamel to use on the inside of an oilpan?
I just got this oil pan. It was tapped, and so some paint needed to be sanded off to weld.
Any Ideas on what to use?
Thanks

because
1) rust will mix with the oil,
2) i dont know how the oil will react chemically with whatever metal they use for the pan. It comes fully painted from the factory for a reason.

Sorry it is impossible for something with oil in contact with it for it to actualy rust. If it were to rust there would be a bigger problem than rust like water in your oil.
