Purists - Look Away!

Dave, I ain't sure what the heck is goin on with the posts, but, as a reminder, PLEASE make sure you are hitting the "Post Reply" button when you want to make a  new post, and not the "New Topic" button. With the change in the forumware, the buttons have been moved from where they were before. That's the only reason I can think of for the posts being turned into new topics with new titles. 


Now...back to your regularly scheduled programing....

Geez a toaster oven..good idea..I did BBQ flat black on stuff I did but let it cure for a couple days..then in the stove they went.red would look good.. Rich

The BBQ, really scares me............how do you control the actual temperature? What about the paint actually flareing up?..............I like to hang the stuff to not leave the grill grid marks.

Lookin good!  Makes  me think about finding an old Oven and putting it in the garage. 

Well I'm thinking about trying the BBQ this weekend will let you know how it goes.  My grill has a second rack above the main one, I'll probably but the caliper halves up there.  And since they're still apart I'll put the mating side down so grill marks shouldn't be a problem.  

Baked the calipers in my BBQ today - worked fine!  You have to babysit it a lot since there's no automatic temp control like in an oven, but if you're willing to do that, no worries about mama complaining about smoke/smells in her kitchen.    Also did my valve covers that I painted with VHT engine paint (yep, you have to bake that, too) and they came out looking pretty good as well.  

Dave, I'm glad it worked out well for you. Maybe you could have thrown on some ribs
while the VHT cured..........it would have the good ol VHT smoke favor...........(just kidding!) On another note my brother-in-law lives in Vancouver Washington.

Well we did cook a Tri-tip on the grill, but that was the night before.  I had to cook all the remnants out before I started the caliper baking - didn't want Tri-tip stains on my Delcos!  

They look good, Larry! Don't worry, I'm worse with pictures than you!

Dave, What's a Tri-tip? Is that anything like three two barrels...........see my mind only can think of two things:........ cars...............and the other is women..........but cars are a whole lot easier to stay out of trouble.........well maybe sometimes.  

My brother-in-law belonged to a Porsche Club, when he had one...........man,... who would want one of those when you could have 100% muscle............Corvette. Thanks for the invite, I'll be over tomorrow night for the three two barrels...........except ebo made me say this! Again, Thanks, and I hoped we all helped you.  
Stay Dry!
