Motor Coater is ideal for coating an oil pan. Clean the pan with KBS Klean, etch with RustBlast, prime with RustSeal, then finish with Motor Coater for the most durable, long-lasting result.
Why prime an oil pan: Oil pans see heavy road debris and moisture exposure. Priming the prepped pan with RustSeal creates a permanent, rust-proof barrier before the Motor Coater color coat, and provides the longest-lasting finish for a part that lives close to the road.
