My 47 Clipper (AKA "Big Daddy") is finally drivable, and providing a lot of fun for my wife & I on weekend cruises. Our family aspiration is to have a fun Packard "driver" automobile, so my goal has been safety & reliability, not a frame-off restoration.
With only 32,000 original miles, Big D is periodically letting me know parts that need replacement. Most recently, it's the back gasket on the exhaust manifold, and the bushings on the manifold heat riser, so Big Daddy is sputtering exhaust fumes extensively. It's time to pull the manifold assembly and fix the noise. My questions: - I would like to paint the intake & exhaust manifolds. The intake looks like it was a cream color, while the exhaust manifold is indistinguishable. Does anyone know what color each of those manifolds may have been originally? - I am aware of many high temperature engine paints in the marketplace. I see some of the paints noted as epoxy high-temp paint that can actually reduce the temperature of the engine compartment. Has anyone used this type of epoxy sealant paint on a Packard exhaust manifold ? Is it OK to hold all of that heat inside the exhaust manifold ? Thanks for being here, and thank you, in advance, for the feedback. Best regards, Dave Blandford Cincinnati, OH cell 513-205-3188

Dave,
Used POR-15 on my '41 120 and on a number of other Packards, works well. Some pic's below, first painted(brush) in 2008, recoated 2010 when engine rebuilt and as it looks now. Have done about 9,000 miles since 2008. Attach file:  (38.92 KB) (44.66 KB) (47.73 KB) (36.17 KB)

Thanks Oz !
Great Picts ! That's a very good look. Is that the POR-15 "Aluminum" high temp paint, or the "Manifold Grey" high temp paint ? Best regards, Dave B.
