Farmall Red High Temp paint?

Well-known Member
I got some black BBQ paint for my old manifold, but now that I have my "keeper" manifold, I want to paint it as a keeper. I looked up red high temp paint and saw a Krylon, but that's flat. And I saw a DuPont. I'm going to go to Napa and see what they've got.

Has anyone used a red gloss high temp that matches, or closely matches, a Farmall red?
 
I can't see wasting money on high-temp paint.

I would rather waste money on porcelain or chrome. Prior to WW2, some higher end auto mfgs baked porcelian on their exhaust manifolds. I think Cadilac continued the process until they produced their OHV engine in '49 (?).

I think you will have a hard time finding an applicator. It is very expensive as the ovens in large shops cannot be shut down. Perhaps a small piece like your manifold could be done in a pottery kiln.

Anyway, a colored manifold on a tractor that has been run is not "cool". Hanging fuzzy dice from your tractor umbrella is "kewl" or is it "kuel" Don't forget the blue dot taillight, too
 
Could you enlighten me on the blue dot tail light (I'm rather assuming it has nothing to do with tractors) as I think I'm a generation or two away from knowing what one is and I'm curious. Thanks, Sam
 
Mike, If you must powder coat it. Have done some olds castiron house radiators they look great.

Mike I bought header paint at Napa and I painted a manifold with it and I have run it all summer and it still looks good. It is in spray bombs and it is not cheap but it does work. I bought silver but they have different colors. Bob
