Hi guys I was looking at a 1993 cobra with 5K miles today. The oil pan had pink paint or something all over it right near the sending unit???? What could that pink paint be?? factory? Thanks!

Got any pics? There shouldn't be any paint except for black or grey on the oil pan.

No pics. The pan is grey but has a huge 5 inch radius circle of pink paint on it? No idea why? Thought maybe it was something the factory did?

It may very well be an assembly line marking.

If I remember correct the last Grey Oil Pans should have been 1992, in 1993 they were Black, as far as the paint mark I would guess an assembly line marking.
