1969 Camaro L89 white embossed oil filter with black ac delco logo

[Edgemontvillage]

Here's a real (non-prototype) filter that I just completed...using my last stencil, converting an NOS AC Delco PF-25 to assembly line style. Still waiting on my printer to produce more stencils!

NOS PF-25 Paint Removal (aircraft paint stripper)


Ready for base coat and stenciling.



Base coat - first of 3 coats applied. Base coat paint is infrared cured between coats then left overnight to cure.



Stencil is applied, top layer of stencil film is peeled away revealing the working stencil layer, then the body of the filter is taped off ready for black paint layer. Stencil indexes against the top rim of the filter.




Black (semi-gloss) paint applied


Completed PF-25 transformation (minus the seal)

Interesting to see a purported original, assembly line only embossed PF-25 for sale on eBay, Listing # 165567657293. The seller claims "...THE ORIGINALS HAD THE BLACK AC LOGO AND WRITING ROLLED ON WITH A MACHINE AND IS SUPER THIN ( LOOKS LIKE STAMPED INK? ) SLIGHTLY TRANSLUCENT. " which I submit is inconsistent with the photos of the original PF-25 from Charlie's former 1970 Z/28 that had a clear, full impression black ink logo and lettering. The filter listed on eBay has a small dent at the top of the filter below the rim and some shelf wear (paint missing) however bidding is "enthusiastic" so it will be interesting to see what it sells for if it reaches the Seller's reserve.
