Thinking caps on everyone how can I make a DIY paint curing oven during lockdown

<< < (5/9) > >>

royhall:
Well yes your right. Thought their technical department would be able to give accurate information though. Appears not.

bobv7:
Send your partner out to do some gardening and stick them in the oven.

royhall:
Brand new oven so not allowed any more. Still, it says on the tin that it will cure from the heat of the engine. Technical at Simonize says it will age cure over a couple of months so should be okay. No worries.

AshimotoK0:
Which Simoniz paint Roy? Mine is from the States and has ceramic in it. There is no mention on the can instructions about baking it but I just went with what the guys on USA SOHC forum recommended  (and others on here) to give the paint better fuel spill protection and baked it on.

I haven't checked your Bomber rebuild but the crankcases on the 450 (like CB250/350K also) were only painted on the top half. Lower half was bare alloy. I guess it was the same with the K1 etc and CL's but not sure. (JamesH and MrDavo will know)

royhall:
This is the stuff Ash doesn't mention ceramic. Says it cures on the engine heat or in an oven. As I don't have use of an oven I e-mailed tech at Simonize to ask and they said it will cure to full strength in about 2 to 3 months depending on storage. So I went that route as they were going to sit for ages. Since building the engine I have cleaned the hand marks off the paintwork with no problems at all. Your right the lower case is unpainted. Whatever it will cure when the engine runs hot.
