First time I painted 550 cases the paint was coming off in my hand when assembling/handling. I would thoroughly recommend baking the cases after painting if you can. Had to clean all the paint off and start again.

juitz:
Thanks all.

Will have to figure out how to bake the cases as 100% certainty that the wife will not let me do it in our oven.

Bryanj:
Buy a cheap used electric oven which frequently plug into a 13amp socket

The only restriction I have on oven baking in our kitchen is that Wendy has to be at work or out.

I draw the line at baking stuff in the oven, it stinks and covers the oven in a load of gack. The Long Haired Generali s dead tolerant tobe fair, I came home  early on in the year to find a 'sooper dooper' new dishwasher installed with the plastic on the front, all lit up like a flying saucer. Apparently the other one that although was shagged out was hanging on in there but decided that it was tine to die that morning.  There it was, looked good, all shiney all silent, only two buttons (great for an uninterested Northerner with a slither of an attention span to learn), stainless steel this n that, self cleaning (oh aye!) and all the value of the £500 WE'd been decidedly robbed for it. :o

Prior to this a few weeks previously a small picture of this appliance was poked over the screen of the laptop whilst in the kitchen one day and comments were made on its fantasticness and buildquality, yer know all that guff to justify spending more than you really need to but fancy a splurge..........I had said it was too expensive, she disagreed so we talked, a very clear comprimise was made.......and she bought it. All sorted then.  I love her, she's ace!!

Anyhow, I digress; I came home to find 'said', new dishwasher, doing a cycle, and upon asking how come we have a washer full of stuff going on when there was none the night before as i had under sufference done the pots, was informed that it was stuffed to the gunnals with CB400 cases , barrels and head front wheel hub and some other tranclements of her 400.  :o :o


"well, you said you wanted to de grease them before you took them to the vapour blasters"...............I knew then, I'd got a keeper.
