Black spray can paint for '50 Panhead primary

[jim d]

I had a partner, Jim,

That avoided the sink's hot water (and dedicated Nalgene beaker) to instead put the rattlecan in the paint-baking toaster oven.

It was awesome.

He blew out the fluorescents, and picked glass out of his hair and face,
but I still revived the oven to this day, with the imprint of a can in its back wall.

PS: Big toaster ovens have been extinct in the dumpsters since about '08 or so.

PPS: I used common straight pins to burnish rattlecan nozzles' orifices, because they are all burred, one way or another.

I hate paint.

I have two of the large older countertop convection ovens that used to be popular in the 70s - 80s. Great for warming up cases for pressing bearings or drying painted items. But I am not putting my rattle cans in there even for just a little bit. I also always have lacquer thinner setting on my bench for cleaning paint can nozzles.

Here is a brake drum I painted with Car-Rep 2k. I had painted something last fall and this month put can in bath of hot water for 15 minutes then shook for 5 minutes worked well. Full disclosure went to paint something else a couple days later; did not do the hot water bath, just shook for 5 minutes; would not spray.

Here is the '50 primary and the earlier primary for my big side valve. I painted the Pan primary first and got out an early primary to also paint. (Yes, I know that I need some sanding on them), but I wanted to see what I have. The early cover is the one with the finish where the can spit. I think it might be the nozzle design. I'm going to sand the and try another paint.
