Painting a carburetor is an option but not the best solution. Unless, like in my case, you want to use your Quadrajet for decor. And to that end, I completely restored it.
So please don't misunderstand; I not only painted my 4-barrel carb but also completely rebuilt it so it could be put back into service immediately if so desired.
And while the durability of paint versus Zinc chromate, for example, is not even worth discussing, I am confident this one would look good for a long time if reinstalled in a vehicle and cared for.
Oftentimes, old parts such as carburetors end up collecting dust in boxes and are allowed to deteriorate for years. And the truth is that rebuilding or even restoring a carburetor is not that difficult, and also very rewarding.
Some of these carbs are so beautiful they can be used-as I chose to do-as decorations.
So don't trash your old Quadrajet. Restore it!
Thank you for watching! 🙂👍🏻

DISCLAIMER: Even though I like to wrench on Corvettes and most of my videos are of a how-to nature, I am not responsible nor liable should you decide to follow my musings on the subject.
The repairs and other work I do are for my own benefit and entertainment, and even though my videos may sound and appear to give technical how-to advice, that's not my intention.
Working on a vehicle is inherently dangerous. If you're not confident, qualified, or lack the tools to do the job correctly and safely, hire a licensed mechanic.
