Can anyone tell me where I can find a stainless or black engine oil dip stick,to replace the ugly yellow one?
Thanks.

 

just the handle or the whole thing?

 

Just the handle. Thanks.

 

I just painted mine black & clear coated it, looks fine & it was free.

exactly what i was going to say

 

There's alot of grease on it. I'm afraid even with wax & grease remover being used,it might start to peel. Plus I would like to find one in aluminum or stainless.

 

lokar

 

Lokar. I have been looking at doing this too, just haven't go to it

 

Whats "lokar"

 

Lokar is a company that makes flexible dipsticks with an aluminum handle. I broke my stock dipstick when I was putting headers on last fall so I got a lokar. They are nice because you can bend them to make it easier getting them back in and they also sit alot lower than the stock dipstick.

 

lokar are nice pieces...but
5 dollars spray can vs 60 dollar dipstick...

i spayed mine black

 

i generally find the oil dipstick under the hood

 

Clean and rough up the old one. hit it with some primer. sand it nice and smooth. prime, sand, paint with your preferred color. go with multiple light coats instead of a single heavy coat. avoiding runs makes it look nicer. Engine Enamel paint from Advance Auto or such should be quite resilient.

 

Why does everyone jus' paint things black? I think the I would much rather have some contrast and "depth" than for everything to be painted black in the engine bay.

 

cus i prefer everything black in the engine bay...

 

MBA used to have billet handles I have a blue one.

 

I bought a chrome one from JC Whitney's for like $7. It just fits on ours with a set screw. Works and looks great.

 

I have the MBA one, but mine is chrome.

 

Thanks guys. MBA's are gone. I tried.

 

MBA is gone many a year.
