Hi Temp paint in the oven?

[chrisgatguis]

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?

Cheers

Chris

the HT rating of the paint means it can withstand high temperature not that it 'needs' the high temperature

it can take quite a while to fully cure and to be honest, smooth hammerite would look much better and wouldn't get chiped.

Cheers Ross - I'm going to invest in a tin tomorrow hopefully

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

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,
