Just got some "brake caliper" paint as it said it was chemical-resistant; going to do a motorcycle fuel tank with it.
Can says that an hour at 200 farenheit will cure better than just air-drying.
Do I let it dry, then bake it? (Can does not say.)
For multiple coats, cure or dry&cure each one, or dry each and cure at the end, or what?
I would let dry then bake it. Apply all coats first then bake. I've done this using engine enamel many times and it seems to work well.
Before I put that tank in an oven , I'd wash it thoroughly with detergent and *hot* water - twice - to be sure all the gas fumes are out of it . If you can still smell gas , wash it again . It takes surprisingly little gas vapor to ruin your day ... Best of luck with the paint job . What kind of bike ?
