408 Build Thread
I want to share some new shots. As Leanna says, powder coating and heat are not the best of friends. For the mufflers, I am using Forrest Technical Coatings paint. They make it for painting indoor stoves and here is their data: Stove Bright® High Temperature Paint is the industry’s premier high temperature paint. It is formulated with a unique blend of heat resistant pigments in a silicone polymer resin that provides excellent color retention and film integrity in working temperatures up to 1200°F (650°C). Stove Bright® High Temperature Paint is designed for rapid curing and great working properties over ferrous metal surfaces. It is ideal for wood, pellet, and gas stoves as well as stove pipes, engines, engine manifolds, and many other metal substrates that are subject to high temperatures. Available in a wide range of colors to suit almost any need, and comes in both easy to use aerosol and brush-on formulas to accommodate any project."
This is some nice stuff. It will not adhere like powder (it is easier to scratch) but it can take the heat since the muffler shell will never see 1200 degrees F.
Here are some more shots with the tape off the bushings. They will be cut and flanges welded on soon (I hope).
