I used flat white paint. I cleaned the dip stick of oil with lacquer thinner, sanded it with fine sand paper and spray painted it. I think that was it. ask Stan for more details next time he posts. William

  What kind of paint? So the paint doesn't flake off into the oil!!!

Stan Wilder told me of a trick. Sand the tip that shows the oil and paint it

My dipstick is tarnished or darkened.  It's very difficult to see where my
oil line is.  Anyone else have this problem and is there a way to clean
    
the
  
dipstick so I can see my oil line?
