Just yesterday installed a manifold that I had painted. Paint used was Dupli-Color High Heat Ceramic rated at 1200 degrees. It doesn't require baking as some other paints. The color is a little too red to match-up with the NH red, but was better than green. On my initial run yesterday, the paint turned color (darkened) back near the exhaust pipe. Up front, however, it retained it's color. To be honest, I didn't expect much more than I got. It was an old manifold, and the tractor hasn't been refinished; just spotted here and there. But I do plan on stripping and repainting it. And thought it was a good expiriment. I'm interested in the results you obtain, and experience you have on painting manifolds. Are we dreaming? Is it really possible to get paint to stay on a hot manifold? Somehow, I doubt it. Good luck, and would appreciate you keeping me up to date here on by e-mail. Best regards, -Gale-
