Rebuilding a 45 MD Go Devil

[Felipe]

A machine shop in Fayettville, NC is rebuilding my 'Go Devil' and I want to spruce up the engine bay and components before re-attaching. Has anyone ever painted the exhaust / intake manifold? Please share with me suggestions on what paint to use or technique.

I use VHT (silver) and bake it on, in the oven. You have to make sure you don't get caught baking manifolds in the kitchen!

I have seen Cera-Cote on several tractors that have been restored. Those exhaust manifolds are very similar to Go-Devil mainfolds. I wish I had done somethng to mine now that it has several years of service on it.
