http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1594165462.JPG Both builds live in the garage most of the time... I of course jumped down the rabbit hole because I've been locked up at home. There must have been moisture because the was light surface corrosion everywhere. |

Eastwood Matte Clear is good to 300 Degrees
I've always had good results with Eastwood clear.
It's very durable and easy to clean. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1594166282.JPG The Eastwood metallic metal look paint takes around 4 days cure to a hard finish http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1594166282.JPG The Eastwood clear is dry to the touch in about 15 minutes with 80+ degree high humidity Florida weather. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1594166282.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1594166282.JPG Played around with the faux anodizing paint-it will be hidden under the induction system. Not a real fan but I'll eventually get better at it. (Still keeping it out of sight) Time to call TRUE6 to get it done professionally. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1594166282.JPG |
