Damn that sucks. Yeah I'm in that anccy stage where I want things done quicker, all my mind can think about is the GS, oh well, patience is a virtue I guess.

Ok so I got my other odds n ends painted up last night. I still have other parts to paint but this is a start.
I used the VHT high temp paint, which I'm sure many of you are familiar with, if you are not, check it out, it's a really great product. It says for it to reach its full potential it needs to be heated, of course for a engine that is achieved by running it. So for these parts I baked them in the oven at °200 for 1 hour, this is my kind of baking  :thumb:

How was the smell of baking them? I am worried about fumes and my daughter. I will be doing this as well.

Yeah I was a little worried too, it's not bad at all, I just made sure I had all bearings really clean.

There is a little rubber, no damage done, if it was hotter then 200 degrees I would of removed them, maybe I did a no no but all is well :embarassed:

I hope they're okay, put the wheel on with out the brake caliper and spin it. if there is any resistance you might need new bearings.

I doubt that the bearing would be hurt at 200*. It would take more than that to burn the greese.
