Topic: 65 Assmebly Line V8 Oil Filters

Well it's finally started to warm up around here and I wanted to try out my oil filter stamp that I had made. Turned out pretty decent. I know the stamp is upside down and on the wrong type filter. But now all I"ll have to do is get the correct oil filter, paint and stamp.  Moving my car one more step towards that assembly line look.

Looks great

Couple of questions:  What kind of paint/ink did you use? And, what technique did you use to apply the ink to get to so even?  I've been experimenting with my coil stamp and I can't get it to look right.

Hey Gary, I tried the first time with spraying yellow spray paint on paper and stamping into it which I've done in the past with a lot of success.  This time with it being so large I just held the stamp and sprayed the yellow paint onto the stamp, just two or three quick shots,  then rolled it around the oil filter.  Believe it or not that was just my second try.

Cool!   Good Job.   Did all the plants use filters with this marking in 65 and 66?

I saw a diamond shaped  stamp, on the top of a filter like the one you are making too.

I tried 4 different kinds of stamp pads.  They don't dry! 3 weeks later the ink wipes right off!

Great job stamping that, Dave.  That really looks good.

OneShot Lettering Enamel is what you should use if you want it to last!!!!!!   It has lead in it.

Looks GREAT!! I remember seeing an ultra high dollar original assembly line filter a couple of years ago and I thought the stamp was the same direction as yours......what kind/type of paint did you use? I've also had a stamp made and have tried acrylic hobby paint and kind of rolled the stamp onto the filter......haven't perfected it yet though.

I've always just used spray paint on all the stampings I've done. Ive tried pads but not with the same success. Normally I would spray the paint onto a paper plate and stamp back and forth on a dry paper plate until I felt the paint on the stamp was right an then stamp the part.  Because of the size of this stamp  I wasn't getting the paint on the center of the stamp. After doing that with the first try on this filter and rolling it around the filter it looked bad. So I cleaned up the stamp and tried just spraying the pint directly onto the stamp with about 3 quick shots of the spray can. Then I rolled it around. I couldn't believe how well it turned out. I painted the correct oil filter today with the double crimp on the top. I will let it dry a couple of days before stamping. (just in case I have to clean and restamp more than once)Hope I get the same result.

Dave,
Would it be possible to get your stamp manufacturer to do some extras which you could sell. I'll be interested, for sure.
