killed my oil pan, any way to fix this?

thanks for the advice Blu, I talked to my coworker who will weld it for me and he requested I ran the pan through the parts washer to remove any oil and then sandblast it

haven't decided yet if I will paint the pan black or gold once it is done

(got to get it off first)

Well a trip in the parts washer and a sandblast will definitely do it. That's probably a bit of overkill, but it will be clean for sure and the cleaner the metal the better the weld will be. If you blast it though youll want to make sure you get rid of all the blasting agents before it goes back on the car!
