Oil filter housing.

Post by Patriotprop »

Painted or unpainted. I ran my housing threw the ultrasonic and then into the glass bead cabinet. It was painted when I took it off but now it looks good freshly glass beaded it is hard to tell if it should be painted ?

Thanks for the help

The location of the filter is not the best to keep paint nice. It is right behind the front wheel and will get quite some debris thrown at it. Pick a paint that has a degree of chip resistance....

What about anodizing? You could do black or silver, or if you're into colours, you could do blue, gold, red, etc.
