Purists - Look Away!

So was there a tell-tale smell in the kitchen when you were done?  That's what I'm concerned about.  Good idear on the toaster oven, Joel.  I have some valve covers that I want to do, though - I think I'll be OK with the gas grill.  It has a thermometer and as long as I can raise them off the grates I think it'll work out.  

Dave, yes there was "the smell"....kinda/sorta. I put on the hood exhaust fan and also the Jennaire exhaust fan. I opened the patio door to bring in fresh air to replace the smelly exhaust air. ................I have a toaster oven in the garage, but it can only do small stuff. I used it to powder coat steel pieces that were rusty inside my AC/heat ductwork. I had to drill out the rivets. then re-install new rivets later. The rack inside left little marks were the parts rested. (no one will actually see them) That's why I like to hang the parts by wires........but not enough room in the small oven. By the way I used the cheapy Harbor Freight Powder Coat set up.........it worked ok. I'm sure the Eastwood would be a bit better

Hey Dave. I like it. I've often thought about doing that to mine. I just didn't know how much it would show with Rally's. If ya don't mind could ya post a pic when you have the wheels on? Thanks, "T"

Dave, here is a picture after the curing...............my wife took it. She gets mad at me for not taking pictures, she says no one will know all that I did. I tell her that I'll know, but she sneaks around taking pictures.

Also Dave, VHT Caliper paint also makes a clear coat. After I installed the calipers I recoated them with clear...............I get kind of fanatical about stuff!

daveo76 said: Larry, I can't access the pic - I get an "Invalid URL" error. Any thoughts? Would love to see what they look like. Thanks for the info. Terry - will do! I'm still waiting for the caliper rebuild kits to come from Zip, then I'll actually have to rebuild and install. But when that's done (hopefully in a few weeks) I'll mount a wheel and take some pics. I'm pretty curious myself!

Dave's above response got posted as a new thread somewhere else....don't know why. I couldn't move it here like we used to be able to, so I had to do the "Quote" thing....

Here they are again...........I dumped a bunch of old stuff and probably dumped the picture also.............

What a complete dufus............I am. I can build anything on my Corvette, but can't resize pictures. That's why I do the work and my wife sneaks around taking pictures. Yikes!

Joel, I tried to make pitures life size..........but I couldn't. Thanks in advance for fix-in the pics so that people won't need a movie theater sized screen to view them
