Re: header paint curing

Best way

Sandblast even if new.
Avoid contact with them, handling, ect.
The good VHT 1300+ header paint-Ceramic I believe.
Follow the VHT directions on cans as to coats,spraying
and curing.
Large oven going to be needed to cure uniformally.
3 or 4 hours heat cycling in oven.

Attemp only when wife at grocery store and let oven air out
before putting turkey in!!

Done right, looks good and lasts a long time.

Later
