he is on the money if you want to plate, just dont use epoxy paint it wont hold up to the heat, you might also think about polishing and buffing the inside of the pan

Oil pans should never be painted or coated inside unless the coating is actually plating like a good cad finish. I think its time for OSO'ers to remember that when you need dentistry you go to a Dentist and when you need brain surgery you go to a Brain surgeon. I am surprised more guys on here don't use Dooley, Canton, etc for pans instead of using the dentist who dables in brain surgery.
Just hav'in fun no criticism intended.

Back in the 60's and 70's racers used to apply a coating of Glyptol to the inside of the engine. Not just the lifter valley, but everywhere.
Glyptol is a GE product originally used to seal windings on electric motors. It's the thick heavy red/orange stuff you see on all the windings. Once cured it's impervious to oil, solvents, etc.

Smitty, It had just been brought to my attention that you are having a problem with one of our products. I am with Hardin Marine and would hope to clear the air on not only your oil pan but the pans we build today as well as the variables in question. I asked our entire staff if they had any recollection of hearing from you in regards to the problem you are having and I'm sorry to say no one could recall.
First and foremost we build more styles and quanity of offshore oil pans than any other as it was referred to earlier "brain surgeon" or I think "Dentist" oil pan manufactures. We do build the original "Gil" style pan which it sounds like you have. We took this project on when we purchased the tooling and dies from "Gil". Which in hindsight needed improvments. When we took the pan production over they (Gil) were using imported pan cores and welding stantions to the pan rails which as you can see caused some of what is referred to as distortion. Like every part we build, we constantly try to improve product quality. In the case of pan fitment today all of our pans are engine block mounted during manufacturing and our pans use an exclusive billet oil pan support rail system allowing us to not have to weld or modify the existing quality pan rails. Today we build one of the finest most complete steel oil pans on the market period.
Lastly in regards to your flaking issue of the coating I can only assume that during the coating process that there must have been contamination. While the pan is far out of warranty we would be more than willing to try and help you in this instance. Feel free to PM me and we will do our best to stand behind our product for you in the name of customer service.

I have had very good service from CP in the 12 years I have worked with them. They have great products. I work with Rick.
But when I needed new pans, I went stainless from Stefs. Very expensive but very nice. They are for a external wet sump Ford.
Oh yeah, I am a Dentist... WTF?
