Help me you guys with experience. I just got my fresh rebuilt carb back from the rebuilder well right now it is beautiful and clean metal with kind of a oily finish feel to it. do i need to paint it to stop from rusting. It is going on my 1940 B. what colors do you guys like, black,persian orange, silver what do you think would look best.

if painted with regular enamel, it will just peel or bubble and look aweful within a short time. All the tractors I have restored I have used a clear spray laquor, resists gas and looks good years later. Kent

I clean the oil off and spray it with areosol clear lacquer....keeps it looking new....originally i believe they were painted, but the enamel paint peels and turns brown

Just my opinion, but mine will be orange. The manifold will be painted with black high temp paint. The hose from the air cleaner to the carb will be black. I think it will look great.

If I was to do over, I think that I would not paint mine. I would try to find something to preserve that new cast iron finish, maybe like a varnish or something. I have several 2 or 3 year old restorations where I have painted carbs. Gas leaks make them look not so good. Hard to keep up.
