Can I use Prep-allto clean it, then self-etching primer followed by gloss protective enamel and/orpolyurethane?--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: GAAA two steps forward one step back

Powder coat. The naysayers will say you can't see cracks. If applied correctlyand not too thick I don't believe that will be a problem. It's great to workwith and you can do it indoors. The Eastwood sprayer and paint is much betterthan the Harbor Freight stuff. I bought an oven for $50 and also made a 4 foothight oven out of 8 or 10 inch duct for about $15...Sent from my iPadJack Textor> On Jan 6, 2015, at 8:15 PM, "Pocono John" wrote:> > > After I make metal brackets, how should I prep and paint them?

I agree with jack on powder coat. Super easy. Super tough. I bought the largesttoaster oven I could find. Used for cylinders, ring gear, fittings etc. Eastwood sprayer kit.--------Bob 'Early Builder' DewenterDayton OHRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
