TRON Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I’m going to paint a few engine parts on my 450 with VHT enamel. Says to let it dry overnight then bake at 220°F for 20 mins. Now maybe the oven in the kitchen isn’t the best place to do that but the only thing I can see being a problem is making a nasty, lingering smell. So has anybody done this in their kitchen? Did it leave a bad smell? The instructions also say that the heat of the engine (with the freshly painted part on it) does the trick as well, but I’d like to try out the oven, that seems like the more controllable way of doing it. Normally, I wouldn’t give a fuck, but the gf might not be very impressed if the next batch of cookies smells like enamel… Avalanche Alpine Type S comps Alpine Type S 10'' Alpine MPR-F300 Alpine MRX-M50 Mechamn 270 XS Power d3400s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yeah, pretty sure your oven/house is going to wreak like paint for a while. How big are the parts? Something you need a full size oven for, or maybe could fit in a large toaster oven? Most of what I can find online and from people I know that have to bake parts for paint or glue, have a separate shop oven they do it in to not fuck up their actual oven. It's not that the cookies with be weird once, its that the chemicals you're baking off the part are going to bake into the oven and anything you cook for a while is going to be fucked up.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I wouldn't do it in your house oven. I've used the exact same vht paint and not once have I put it in the oven like it says and I've never had an issue with it. Hell I sprayed some calipers with it and the paint hasn't come off yet going on 3 years now. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

TRON Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 The parts aren't that big, but then again I don't know if they would fit in a toaster oven. I could try putting the parts on the engine, but that is assuming all of the parts are going to even get hot enough. There are a few little engine mounts and covers that probably wont reach engine temp.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 It gets warm enough anywhere under the hood if you let it just sit and idle.

TRON Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well, if you've used it and had good results without baking it then I guess there not too much to worry about Avalanche Alpine Type S comps Alpine Type S 10'' Alpine MPR-F300 Alpine MRX-M50 Mechamn 270 XS Power d3400s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just make sure you clean the parts very good.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 No such thing as cleaning it to good when it's a greasy old engine part.

firebirdude Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 No such thing as cleaning it to good when it's a greasy old engine part. X10000. Your prep work is going to make the greatest impact on your final result. Hell I sprayed some calipers with it and the paint hasn't come off yet going on 3 years now. That says a lot! It wasn't car parts, but I've sprayed other large metal items and stuck them in my home oven. Like 400 degree for 15-20 mins. Zero lingering smell and the paint was hard as a rock. Certainly helped in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
