Painting a rocker cover.. how to "bake" without a

[dobbie82]

Hi, I have an m20 rocker cover that I want to paint, I have high temperature paint.

It was painted black when I bought it but the paint just flaked and rubbed off.

I want to spray it, and i guess it needs baking really, but I cant put it in my house oven, but hubby is a chef and has access to a huge oven
do i just pop it in fr x amount?

i cleaned mine with nitro-mors sprayed it with vht paint and sat it on the hob.across 3 burners.(.painted side up) til it got hot (5 mins) and have had no trouble in 6k miles

HOw many have actually painted a rocker cover themselves? got a day off tomorrow but its pi**ing down! been nice all week while i been working

Dobbie really wouldnt bother baking it done mine with Harley Davidson vht paint and have had no probs.

[DaveD]

it does look better with the harley paint and it you put it on the car and run it that bakes it anyway

[domross]

stupid question but would it not bake when its put back, as soon as the engine starts heating up??

[thebigone]

powerder coating firm would be able to do it for a few pennies, and in any colour you wanted.

Should be mate, looks as if you can put it on exhaust so should handle rocker covers.

[Morat]

tempting
