Beautiful work. I learned this trick in the 70s. Well explained. There are STILL a FEW young men out there WANTING to learn. They just need guidance. You sir, are a blessing to them and us "old schoolers" too. Thanks and may 2021 be a great year for you,
Glad you enjoyed it. You know, before events got cancelled, I've seen a lot of young guys out there with some real tallent. Hopefully, we'll all go out to play again soon.
Mike, baking the part evaporates the solvent in the paint. Without the solvent the paint hardens, aka "cures". For heads and cylinders I like to use VHT Caliper paint. It's gasoline resistent once cured (after baking, or over a given amount of time. The only downside is the spray cans are pricey at around $8 a can, but it sprays very thin and covers fast allowing you to obtain a perfect finish without drips using multiple coats. I do it to all my engines, and their "cast aluminum" silver looks like a bead blasted finish, perfect for Aluminium restoration! ✌️
I used to swear by good old black VHT or their caliper paint until I had a person give me a rattle can of a different brand of high temperature coating. Check out StoveBrite high temperature coatings by Forest Paint in Eugene Oregon its expensive stuff yet worth every cent. I restore old kerosen heaters, lamps, stoves, and use this coating on those projects. It is a silicone based coating that is not only durable yet will handle as hot as my oven would go without smoldering. I have used this coating on my pipes and race car headers as long as the hard part which is the prep work is done properly you could get away without baking it. The techniqe along with temperature Mike specified is ideal and extremely close to the old dip and bake for electric motors or that funny red or black epoxy/varnish sprayed, brushed, or dipped on electric motors glypt and bake fun stuff.
If its a heat rated paint the heat is needed to cure it completely. Using an oven is more controlled than running the engine and provides a more durable finish
Low tech, home school, old school, I so appreciate these presentations it reminds me why I still have my ole shovel head and plan to take it down all the way and rebuild at home with my 22 year old son. You will be part of that, thanks Mike!
The heat isn't to dry the paint so much as it is to help it bond to the metal better and give it a smoother finish. Heat treated paint is less likely to flake and peel in my experience.
Mike, the way you explain things is incredible. Every video you do just exudes pure class, your bikes are very lucky to have such a knowledgeable custodian. Stay safe and have an amazing 2021👍
Hi Mike, I just KNEW that I was going to use that old electric range / cook-top / oven out in the shop for more than heating up my Beanie - Weenies & to melt Powder-Coat :-) Thanks for YOUR Paint Curing Technique COOP ...........................................
Giving it a shot....The heat will not only expand the metal, but the pores in the surface will also get larger, releasing any oils or cleaning agents used to prepare it. The heat will "plastic" the paint, allowing trapped air, oils, and other solvents to escape, and force the softened paint to flow into the enlarged pores (now free of air and/or repelling oils). As the metal cools, the pores shrink and better capture the now cleaner paint. Chemicals that used to make the paint flexible, are now burned out, leaving a much harder material that is physically locked into the metal. As engine temps rise under normal use, the paint is so far into the pores of the metal, that air that could expand and pop the paint loose, just isn't there. So, yeah. Just my look at it, with my dominant eye closed :)
The oven is a great way of baking the heat resistant paint. Heat lamps work well also. I use a IRT heat lamp that bakes paint real well. Uses them when I do spot repair on car panels.
I cast my own 45 ACP rounds from wheel weights. Normal lead ammo is lubricated to reduce lead residue in the barrel of the gun. The newest thing is to powder coat them instead of using lubricant. You can also use spray paint with the primer already in it. All you do is spray them and then bake them at 350 to 400 degrees for 20 mins. No lubricant needed and the paint doesn't come off in the barrel. If you take a hammer and smash them the paint doesn't come off.
Thanks for the clear info. I just received my Triumph Bonneville barrels back from blasting and they will need paint. Way too cold here at the moment and garage isn’t heated, I’ll wait and use your method when temps rise! Thank you.
We actually tried all that stuff in cold weather. Heat it. paint it hot. Put it back in the oven and bake it. Of course if the spray can gets too cold... I think I'd wait for some warmth too.
In the days before hardening additives such as "Metals" -Japan Drier- Paint took months to dry as the drying is actually oxidation.Ask any artist who paints with oils. They would stack'em in a room and check a week or more at a time to see how it was progressing. Heating speeds up the oxidation process. Harleys and cars were painted and heat lamps were used to dry the paint. There is not much solvent to evaporate so that takes a day or so. When you heat the parts before spraying it helps flash off the solvents and helps flow out to smooth the finish. Heating after painting speeds up the oxidation process therefore hardening the paint. This is for oil base paints. Solvent based paints also benefit from heating but not as much as it benefits oil base paints. Water based paints I have never baked and I believe would not benefit from this process. Baked Enamel was used for everything in the 50's and everybody shop had racks of heat lamps.
Very well said. Thank you. Small parts fit in an oven, and used ovens come out of kitchens being remodeled. Mine cost thirty dollars. I've gotten my money's worth over and over again.
Very very clean my friend! Missed ya brother. I have done some amazing things with a bomb can. Its heavily underestimated because people don't want to take the time to make it nice.
Yes, I learned when they first came out (Yes, I was a small child). We've learned a lot about working with them over the years, but the quality of spray cans has improved more than I have. Happy New Year.
Hello Mike. Thank you for explaining! I also have done it exactly like that for don't-know-how-much-times and I can say: it gets rock-solid hard. I usually cover the gasket surfaces with masking tape (letting it hang over the edges of the gasket surfaces), use a scalpel and "scratch" the tape at the edges of the gasket surface until the overhanging parts fall off. This makes a perfect shaped taped gasket surface. Then, like you said, heat the parts in the oven, take them out, put mostly 3 layers of paint on it and then back into the oven. The result is always very satisfying. One remark: I usually use VHT paint, which I have found out to be the best paint for engines available (the wrinkle enamel of VHT is simply stunning!) - however, VHT also tells on the can to exactly do it like you explained. Thanks for sharing your experience and many regards from Germany! Bastian
I think the fact that you clean them up so we'll, then cycle them in an oven before painting and then bake after paint application is wise. It's winter here (zero degrees) but will give it a go come summer. Cheers!
I bake the paint on my motor parts because that is what my cousin Larry told me to do 50 years ago when he was teaching me to work on Harley's and old Indians so I do.
Even using wrinkle paint it works much better warming part and baking after spraying.. I use heat lamps as well as oven sometimes....Nice job...Happy New Years...
Great job with the paint. I really thought there would be comments from those that paint cars, bikes for a living. They generally understand different paints, in fact I believe that some have paint booths that also bake the paint. May 2021 be a big improvement over that last one. Best wishes.
I learned this “trick” from the old chopper mags in the 70’s. I painted my pans cases and gearbox the same way in 1979. It is still on all be it a bit scratched through the years. Btw the wife was not happy that I used the kitchen oven 😁 Best wishes for 2021 Mike an team, love your vids 👍
Hi my brother. I understand how an baked on enamel is stronger. I do sheet metal roll forming for roofing. Baked on finish is the best. Happy New Years Guys!
Oh boy!!Looking awesome Mike!!! Getting closer. Last time I baked a head it was for a '62 Sprite. We did it in my sisters oven . She was not thrilled. My brother in law and I didn't understand.
Thank you Mike for posting.....agree with. Mr Bee.....the baking allows for faster cure and better control of the cure......and a Very Happy New Year to you...hindsight now really is 2020
That looks fabulous, used alot of HIgh Temp paint, but never baked it on eager to try it on a dirt bike motor, gives it that factory look. Thanks Mike and Happy New Year to you as well, cheers.
Back in the day the paints were a lot different. Now they come out of a spray can like the High Temp paints and are very good quality. We used to add a hardener to the enamel paints and some "smoothe (liquid silicone) to get out the orange peel, a lot of work. What you did here looks fantastic and should last....Good video, Happy New Year, Thanks Mike.
You bet. My Knuckle has black wrinkled cast iron heads and cylinders. I touched it up after many years with wrinkle paint sprayed into a cup, Q-tips, and a heat gun. Thanks for the compliment.
I've always used VHT 2000 degree paint and not baked them and not had a problem,, it works on headers and never comes off,,,it's more about preparation and getting the parts really clean.
@@pacificmike9501 Precisely it gets the moisture, oil that your precleano didn't remove the first time out of the pores for a second wipe off, preventing flash rust, and yes you get a better finish. I use crown white gas camp stove fuel the same way I use the old PrepSol because its cheap and works just as good. Man here is another raisin pie 🥧 Thank you.
Try StoveBrite high temp on headers you will use less and its stronger than VHT. I used VHT 2000° forever on race car headers it did alright yes. I had my doubts until I tried the 2000° StoveBrite by Forest because it is more expensive. It comes in many different colors and you can take them to 600° in an oven it does not smoke or smolder. Seriously it stays right on after a lot of crazy heat cycles withstanding the elements. My dad likes to borrow it for his Cat diesel exhaust systems on his trucks or on race cars. He said he wishes StoveBrite would have been around 50 years ago for headers on race cars burning exotic fuels. Prep is the hard important step painting is the fun part. May you and yours please stay safe, healthy, and Thank you.
Hi Mike, My high temp rattle can says "Bake at 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes and allow 30 minutes to cool. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 30 minutes and allow 30 minutes to cool. Bake at 600°F (315°C) for 30 minutes and then allow 30 minutes to cool" Gives a durable finish. I might try pre-heating the parts first like you, if anything mayl burn off any oil from my hands. By the way nice job.
I bake all my small parts in a old stick rod oven. It surely gives it a more durable finnish and if your spraying a gloss color ive noticed the paint won't loose its sheen if you bake it. It comes out still looking wet even though its dry
Well, enamel is kind of a generic word. Lacquer is much faster drying and nowhere near as durable. For the sake of this project, yes, I'm using enamel. There are many versions of paint out there today and I'm just not a professional painter.
Happy New year to you Mike and Mike the camera man of course! , back in the day I worked for a time @ Stanley Tools in Sheffield Yorkshire and a big part of the tool production was stove enamelling things like wood planes and suchlike and the toughness of the baked finish was outstanding!!! Those barrels and heads look fantastic, anyway enough of me rambling I hope you and everyone has a great 2021 and with my best regards from Alan in the UK 🤗🤗👍👍❤.
Happy New Year Mr. Pacific! Those look the Bee's knee's. I can't wait to try it on my front fork sliders, as well as other parts. The only problem will be explaining to the Mrs. Sully why our food tastes like Denim Black for the next two months, "but sweetie, Mike told me to do it", haha, I Jest Sir. Take care of yourself Mike, always a pleasure.
Happy New Year guys. Just watched your video. Years ago I worked for a company and we used to bake or painted parts in a oven. And I was told that by heating the parts it removed the oils and other chemicals out of the enamel making it harder.Like you don't know if that's true. Looking foward to getting back on the build. RMM

Hi Mike, one question that i had from the first vid that remains unanswered Does it have to be enamel paint as in "Baked Enamel"?
Well, enamel is kind of a generic word. Lacquer is much faster drying and nowhere near as durable. For the sake of this project, yes, I'm using enamel. There are many versions of paint out there today and I'm just not a professional painter.

This is amazing. Great technique 👌. Happy New Year!!!
Thank you! You too!
Looks real good Mike! When I worked in a MRO we baked many parts after painting. Happy New Years and keep safe!
Thanks, you too!
Happy New year to you Mike and Mike the camera man of course! , back in the day I worked for a time @ Stanley Tools in Sheffield Yorkshire and a big part of the tool production was stove enamelling things like wood planes and suchlike and the toughness of the baked finish was outstanding!!! Those barrels and heads look fantastic, anyway enough of me rambling I hope you and everyone has a great 2021 and with my best regards from Alan in the UK 🤗🤗👍👍❤.
Being a rambler by nature, I appreciate what you have to say. Happy New Year to you.
Great job Mike Happy New Year to you!
Thanks! You too!
As always, well done
Thank you! Cheers!
Happy New Year Mr. Pacific! Those look the Bee's knee's. I can't wait to try it on my front fork sliders, as well as other parts. The only problem will be explaining to the Mrs. Sully why our food tastes like Denim Black for the next two months, "but sweetie, Mike told me to do it", haha, I Jest Sir. Take care of yourself Mike, always a pleasure.
I'm tellin' you. Everything was fine 'til folks started using "Mama's oven." I didn't do it! Happy New Year.
@@pacificmike9501 Haha Right on Mike

Glad you like them!

Happy New Year Mikes. All the best ahead
Wishing you the same.
Great work Mike looks great...
Glad you like it
Mike, as always great video. You are correct on backing the paint. It will make it harder. Just like powder coating fo instance. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎇
Thank You. And, Happy New Year.
Happy New Year guys. Just watched your video. Years ago I worked for a company and we used to bake or painted parts in a oven. And I was told that by heating the parts it removed the oils and other chemicals out of the enamel making it harder.Like you don't know if that's true. Looking foward to getting back on the build.

Happy new year!
