Contemplating doing a makeover on the oil bath filter. I googled the OEM 1973 color and google responded with the color Blue. Has anyone seen a stock factory Blue filter?

Nope

On machinery etc yes different colours, but think std colour was always black.

No.

I refurbed mine recently, just happened to have a tin of blue enamel boat paint in garage, used cup wheel on outside, few costs of primer and this paint went on beautiful, colour match close enough for

me

Wow, I really like the blue.
I thought maybe it was to match the engine color or the body color.
I'm really going to think about the finish produce...be traditional or more creative.
Thanks to all

Was the oil filter canister silver?

On the last pic you can see the original colour blue I took all the paint off down to steel , then primed and coloured , mine is an 84 series 3 and had the blue as original on my pastel green landy

Confused.


Oil filter casing was blue.
Air filter, oil bath type, was black.

I think I was the one to confuse everyone.
I think the blue filter container looks great blue, mine is grayish / silver on my 73 series 3 I believe and wondered if blue was an original color.
As for a refurb on my oil bath air filter I'll most likely keep it satin black

I had a tin of yellow left from painting a tractor PTO bar. So mine is yellow.
