Mann Rattle Can Green ?

[Stephen Masefield]

When I searched, all the (old) links that might have answers on rattle can makes/codes for a Mann filter Green Color no longer work - any suggestions please ?
Thanks

[Jules Dielen]

Steve, I had Matt do mine, he may be able to give you a paint code for it, then your local paint store can make it and put it in a can for you. Space age in Tempe does that here.in PHX

So this chat from not long ago - the following link is broken !~

Here’s the link. https://www.porsche356registry.org/article/230?

In fact I just saw a picture of a 1953 Porsche 1500 coupe by Reutter that just sold at RM Sotheby’s auction in Scottsdale supposedly with its original engine that has a light green Mann filter canister. This however doesn’t ensure it was original equipment from the factory as a lot of them were dealer installed options.

I would also like to think that we all join “this place” to help one another. Believe me I’ve received more than I’ve contributed over the years.

Thanks Mark - that helped but no answers - but still looking for what paint code/can people paint Mann Oil Canisters with !

[Patrick Ross]

Does this help?

Thanks Patrick that is very helpful. I will follow up and having a "real code" makes all the difference

So, is Rustoleum Hunter Green good enough for a non-show engine? The filter is going on a 1905cc engine that has a few other inaccurate features so perfection is not required.

[Alan Hall]

Cliff, Last one I did was using Rustoleum 7732830 Satin Hunter Green. I thought it looked good.

Thanks guys! Gary, your 356 must run like a Deere.

By the way, the Mann with the drain plug seems to be a superior idea.

Yeah, I could stop sneaking my wife's turkey baster out to the garage.

Maybe that is why her turkey dinners are so tasty.
