Not yet. I am picking up a home oven to put in the garage. I hope to have it by summer. Are you wanting to paint the wheels that are sitting in your basement?

 

Yup those are them... How did you know

 

Saw them when I bought your headunit. I know they have spots and runs from the wheel cleaner. I can even say I know how it happened. Damn phone calls!


I would love to try the gun out on some wheels. You can do all the work if you wish, I want to see the outcome. I have a really cool Blue color that flows very well with silverstone if your interested. Similar to this but with more metallic. It is called blue sparkle.

 

I've been thinking about blue for rim color, it was either going to be blue or gunmetal. I think that blue looks hot!!

 

I have something very similar. Lets try it out on scrap metal sometime and see what you think.

 

right on sounds good to me...

 

You free this weekend? Or any afternoon after 1:30 works for me. Send me a PM sometime and we can work out the details.

 

I'll be happy to let you practice on them

 

Any color preference? What do you think of the blue?

 

I actually have a chamber at work I use daily. It's a "HALT" (Highly Accelerated Life Test) chamber capable of rapid thermal changes in excess of 60 degrees C (about 140F/minute) It can go from -100C (-150F) to +200C(390F) in about 5 minutes. It uses liquid nitrogen to cool and obviously is Vented so no toxic gasses esacpe. I can control the ramp rate AND it's large. I could do two wheels at a time. But it uses turbulent airflow. I could try a small part in there to determine if it will "blow off" the powder coating before it cures or if it will put "waves" in the finish. That's my only concern.
I have tubes I can redirect some of the airflow. It's also programable to slowly cool off the parts and you don't even need to watch it while it works. Monitor it online if you want. Love technology!

The "Table" is 30"X30" and it's got about 34" in inside height. But the inside width is about 44" wide (the 30" table is suspending on springs becuase it's also capable of vibrating up to 50g)

It's just a thought of no one has a large enough oven available.
