Its going to be awhile before paint. This was my first attempt at anything major. I've seen all the rebuild shows right ? now go out and do it ! Dosen't work that way but glad it came out as well as it did.
For got your just North of me. I used the high temp from Eastwood , baked them in an old oven at 350 degrees for an hour as per directions, let set for a couple of days to cure , installed them started engine and let run …..with in 15 minutes paint was all peeled off. Good luck.
Like most of the car, this is the second time of trying to get something right. The first time I detailed them out and talked to a local powdercoater who assured me that his job would take the temperature. I had him do them and they were beautiful. Installed ready for first time run for cam break-in and within 15 minutes I had 2" flakes of powdercoat flying all around my shop. By the time I put the car on the road they were back to cast with rust. I couldn't take it and had to rip them off during my winter car projects and after washing, bead blasting and proper prep I followed the directions on the can and painted them. I hope to have them back on the car by Sunday night then I can post up the start to finish thread I am preparing.
Hope it works. Nothing worse then someone saying their product works , then fails. I ended up wrapping with heat wrap about half way down each tube so to protect plug wires and help with heat.
Looks good. Maybe oven didn't get an even heat or not hot enough.
Demon!
