I use Rustoleum Regal Red with enamel hardener.  The hardener really help it dry faster, harder and with a little more gloss. its available at Tractor supply (PS I don,t recommend the tractor Supply "Majic" brand paint)

I use this on the engine.

Rustoleum International red I used it on the frame and engine years ago and i will let the photos speak for them selves. I also did a paint comparison between 2 different brands of international red on my YouTube channel check it out.

Here is what i normally use and have been painting wheelhorse stuff with this paint for years!! https://www.doitbest.com/shop/paint-and-painting-supplies/spray-paints/specialty-spray-paints-and-finishes/tractor-and-implement-spray-paint/rust-oleum-12-oz-international-harvester-red-farm-and-implement-spray-paint?SKU=771123

Here is my wheelhorse D160 snow plow i just painted with the rustoleum international red. The pond brothers tried to get a close to international red as possible so I have alwasy used this paint. one time we used regal red on my sisters 753 and it is to dark in my opinion.

This is good to know this is the first one im stripping down and going to repaint was sure if I used the same paint as the body if it would peel off so I didn't want to have to do it over so thank you and everyone thats posted comments means alot to have so many people willing to help

Know that you will have a much better chance of not burning your paint if you do use an engine specific, high temp paint.
