I got my pipes painted. I used a high-temp rattle-can paint from o'reilly's. Attachment: IMG_20160416_191726_896.jpg I had to cure the paint at 200F for 1 hour and the pipes are too big to fit in my oven in he kitchen (not that my wife would approve anyway). So, I came up with this contraption Attachment: IMG_20160416_191853_744.jpg it's a sheet of 3/4 R4 residential insulation. I cut pieces and formed it into a box with no top. I then cut a hole in the end for a reddi-heater. I hung my pipes inside and placed a lid on it. It held 230F for 1.5 hours and didn't show any signs of melting Attachment: IMG_20160417_112635_979.jpg

I got some of my components painted tonight. First time I have ever used a base coat/clear coat system. The base coat turned out great Attachment: IMG_20160418_204430_568.jpg Attachment: IMG_20160418_204452_237.jpg Attachment: IMG_20160418_204550_958.jpg The paint brand is Nason. I got it from my local o'reilly auto parts. The color is a standard 'chevy black'. It's a 3-part paint and it went on awesome. Sprayed it with a Campbell-Hausfeld gun from walmart using a 1.4 tip and 40 psi at the gun. I will try my hand at clear-coat on Wednesday (hopefully) and try not to mess anything up |

Here are pictures of the tank and side panels. The black stripe has been misted with the same green metallic that the frame was painted with. I don't think you can see it in the pictures but if you get the light right the black stripe turns green. Pretty cool Attachment: IMG_20160511_175306_192.jpg Attachment: IMG_20160511_201115_617.jpg Attachment: IMG_20160511_201126_932.jpg

Got to give you credit. That's a big project. I always liked purple. When I saw it with the green it reminded me of a vid my kids use to watch. If I ever repaint my 73, it's going back to purple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDfHap7uwHE You need to make a video of the finished project and a run down the road. Very cool. |
