Engine Covers etc oven bake at what temperature / time etc ?

(1/4) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've read about using SIMVHT31D paint with recommendations to bake it on in the oven.

Just need to know the cooking instructions - is it put in oven when wet (fire hazard?)or touch dry ?

In a preheated Fan Oven - what temperature is needed - for how long ?

Trigger:
It tells you on the tin  ;)

After spray, leave in a warm temp for at least 24hrs. Then place in a oven and increase temp slowly to 200c and once the temp is up, leave at 200c for a hour and half.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks Trigger can hasn't arrived yet.

Trigger:
What engine parts are you painting ? Make sure they are free of any oil, inside and out. Oil stains on the inside of the cases smoke, and turn the paint. Oil or any grease on the painted area will bubble and lift paint. Prep is the key to any good paint finish  ;)

Sorry to hijack this thread but i'm planning a top end rebuild on the 550 over the winter to cure the oil leaks.

I'm not going to open the bottom end but want to clean it up and paint it.

What are my options when it comes to curing the paint on the bottom half?
