need opinions on rattlecan carb paint for tripower

My carbs are in the process of getting cleaned and of course there all different shades of green ,I dont have money or want them tumbled ,Looking for colors to hold up,,,,,,,, Vht Enamel .I checked eastwoods ............but Why pay way to much for acrylic enamel ,When I can buy it at the parts store ,Or should I get a quart of the automotive stuff with hardener , Also what colors that would look good to original carb color

 

Ive never had a painted carb,dunno? If they are getting cleaned why not take off the paint.

 

No paint on them .For Tripower Option number 2 Is gl***bead all 3 but will they match

 

I cleaned mine up and painted them while they were apart. I taped off what i didn't want to affect negatively with the paint. I used Duplicolor engine enamel on the main bodies. I then used VHT high temp Header paint on the bowls, cause I liked the color I chose, it was a flat alluminum. When everything dried I used Duplicolor Engine enamel Clear Coat. It has held up great for me.

 

I am still trying to get the paint off of mine

 

Im just gonna gl*** bead em Thanks..........

 

Medium grit baking soda works good and no grit in everything, blasting supply stores have it.

 

Yellow chromate on linkage pieces and throttle shafts, original 1969 hardware.

I soda blasted this before lightly polishing it. I did not want to remove any casting numbers.

 

I've done a couple carbs with Eastwoods Carb Re-New and thought it just looked like gold spray paint, not very happy with it at all. Finally got tired of looking at one and gl*** beaded it and powdercoated it ultra-high gloss black with a bare finished base plate. Looks nice and holds up to fuel spillage nice too.
