I just picked up some factory finish paint at the local Ford dealer. My question is regarding the engine and paint. How well does the paint hold up to the engine"s heat? Is there a special high temp paint available? Just curious if any of you have been down this road before. Thanks Ron.

Enamel tractor paint will not burn off an engine - on the contrary, it gives it a hardened baked enamel finish. I have used regular tractor enamel on three tractors' engines so far and the results are great.

Good luck,
Dan

Ron..... ...the watercooled engine block (thermostat is 160*F) is well within SAFE paint temperature range and doesn't burn. Unfortunately, the exhaust manifold EXCEEDS most paint temp compatability. (you can gitt the exhaust manifold ceramic coated for $150 and is good for 2000*F, what is it worth to you? Hotrodders do it all the time) The intake part of the exhaust manifold is within normal paint temp range and doesn't burn off..... ....Dell

My plan is to powder-coat the head and manifold. The rest of the engine was done in Rustoleum Sunrise Red. Not sure if I can get the colors to match, but am hoping for the best.

I used Rustoleum Sunrise Red out of the spray can last year on my N engine & it looks fine. The hi-heat black on the manifold burnt off in 6 months.
