| + | These were done with KG Industries Stock Kote 1201S Air Cure Satin Black. \\ | ||
| + | This stuff is a one part no bake water based coating made for painting gun parts that cannot be baked at high temperature. \\ | ||
| + | The paint is easy to apply, cleans up with cold water and the whole project only used about 2oz. of paint. \\ | ||
| + | KG claims this paint is pretty much impervious to heat, abrasion and all kinds of solvents. \\ | ||

| + | |||
| + | Following directions, the paint was applied in six to seven very light coats with a paint gun at 35 psi. \\ | ||
| + | The hair dryer was used to keep the parts warm in between coats. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The parts to be painted were sanded smooth and sandblasted with StarBlast at 30psi then cleaned and de-greased with acetone. \\ | ||
| + | The manufacturer says the parts need to be heated to between 110°F- 120°F. \\ | ||
| + | The problem is some ovens don't go that low. \\ | ||
| + | So this box was made up with a plastic bag, grill thermometer and a hair dryer. \\ | ||
| + | The hair dryer was turned on high until it reached the desired temp then switched to low speed to maintain temp. \\ | ||
| + | (for ten minutes or so to heat the aluminum all the way through) \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the parts are warm it tacks up almost instantly. \\ | ||
| + | It goes on pretty thin (first three coats were light enough to still see metal through them. \\ | ||
| + | Later, the parts were warmed the hair dryer, sprayed using an airbrush then dried with the hair dryer. \\ | ||
| + | As for dust, just keep the parts on clean paper and the dryer close to the part. \\ | ||
