chrisgatguis Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi all,just painted my exhaust with some of halfords HT black paint - pretty happy with the results.Whilest doing it i noticed my center stand is mega grimey and rusty. Do you think having a center stand with said HT paint on it in the oven will reck the oven?I presume I need to bake the paint to set it hard? or just give it a go without baking it?CheersChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 actually it does need baking on it says that on the tin the baking is part of the hardening process and i would not recomend you do it in the oven as the fumes are crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 ps go with the smooth hammerite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 ps go with the smooth hammerite with the current weather, give it a good degrease, as the paint won't stick to grime, and then put the bike on the centre stand with a cardboard sheet underneath, then paint, leave to dry in the sun, job done, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
