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? [Reply]   [No Email]

It is in spray bombs and it is not cheap but it does work. I bought silver but they have different colors. Bob   [Reply]   [No Email]

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   [Reply]   [No Email]

Thanks, Sam   [Reply]   [No Email]
