Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak
That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!!

Re: C6 dipstick tube
Just the dipstick handle-or the entire tube? I'd painted my old EB bright orange to help with the aging eyes.

If you are just wanting to be able to see it, I would paint it any bright yellow...I am fooled also, as I can't recall any C6 dipsticks painted, Donnie

Re: C6 dipstick tube
Mine was yellow, but I painted it black. Though painting it yellow makes sense now that I think about it.

Re: C6 dipstick tube
Mine was yellow and when I repainted everything under the hood I grabbed a can of ace hardware brand sunshine yellow spray paint from ace hardware and repainted it with that. It came out pretty close.
