It's a little spendy, but it holds up to gas better than most.
Unfortunately gas will still take off fresh paint if not careful.

I used to paint cars with Lacquer Den. Loved it!(quoted from post at 21:08:02 01/30/15)(quoted from post at 17:57:44 01/30/15) Rustoleum Professional High Performance.

Royce,Have you ever tried black lacquer ,it drys really fast and is not affected by gasoline to soften or remove it after its dry.
Just about everything was red, including, oddly enough, the exhaust manifold!So were the orgs blk or red?

Nah, I've painted some red for guys that wanted them red.
The problem isn't the color, it's matching the color of the tractor.
Too many different brands/shades to say for sure it will match.
Then of course there are the fade rates that vary.
Most times it's easier to have a nicely contrasting black carb.
That's the way I do mine too RustyFarmall. Separate pieces.(quoted from post at 10:31:03 01/31/15)
When I rebuild the Farmall carbs, I like to paint the top and bottom seperately, before I assemble the carb. I then place each piece under a heat lamp for about 2 hours. It does take a little extra time because of applying the masking tape and such, but the end result is a much more durable finish that will stand up to a LITTLE bit of gasoline.
(quoted from post at 07:25:15 01/31/15) Thanks Gary, I have painted some flat black too. Not with Napa
wrought iron paint though. The paint I used looked good, but
didn't repel gas as well as the gloss. At least not when new.
Always willing to try new things, so I'll give it a shot.

And that is exactly why most older tractors have black starters and generators. They pretty much ALL go to the repair shop at some point and come back black, so many people think that they were done black at the factory. If they had been painted separately, off the tractor, at the factory, they would not have started.

I can certainly see it adding to time and cost, but why do you say they wouldn't have started?
(quoted from post at 17:43:17 01/30/15) Royce, What kind (brand) of paint do you use?
They will Tom, or I'll do it over on my dime.(quoted from post at 13:04:29 10/18/15)(quoted from post at 17:43:17 01/30/15) Royce, What kind (brand) of paint do you use?
Nice..Now-if they work as good as they look and I'm sure they will....
Ah, I see what you're saying about the starters now.(quoted from post at 09:02:27 10/18/15)(quoted from post at 19:24:57 10/17/15)(quoted from post at 21:42:49 10/17/15)(quoted from post at 21:39:00 01/30/15) "Ya can have any color ya like as long as its Black"

It comes up here every now and then where someone has been doing extensive overhaul work and after assembly it won't crank. They are often asked if they painted the surface where the starter mounts, as the paint can interfere with the grounding of the starter, so if at the factory they were painted with the starter off there would be paint on the mating surface so it may not crank.
