I've currently got the head off my Massey 135 to replace the valve guides and give it a valve job. While I have it apart, I also plan to sandblast and paint the intake/exhaust manifold/pipe so it won't rust. The exhaust pipe and muffler go down underneath the tractor.
The Massey 135 used a basic color scheme, consisting of MF red, flint grey, silver mist, and black. To the best of my knowledge, the manifold was never painted at the factory, so I'm left with deciding which color would look best.
Hi-temp (2500 degree) manifold paint only comes in a few colors, so I'm trying to choose between grey and black. What color would you paint the intake/manifold and pipe?
