You can also do VHT, but remember what it says on the can. Clean and etch, then VHT primer first, then baked at 600 degrees for I can't remember how long, then coats of VHT paint, all coats in the oven at 600 degrees allowed a certain amount of baking and curing time between coats. They say never use the engine to try to cure VHT primer and paint, but they must be baked to cure properly.
Now try getting the wife's permission. Fortunately I did mine in our old oven that I had pulled out for a remodel on the kitchen.
Just a FYI, Keep those old washing machines for your polishing towels, buffing pads....They use twice the amount of water as the new ones, but they clean better and they rinse much much better. You won't dry off your car and leave soap streaks from a towel that has soap left over like new energy efficient ones do and if you have a garden with high acid PH just hook a long hose up to the washer and water the plants with the gray water. The old ovens are perfect for curing paint, baking heads that use silicone bronze valve guides...Heat the head to 600, grab the guides out of the old freezer and you can put them in the head without a press or any pounding just push them in with your finger. Do the same installing wheel bearing races. Build a shed next to the garage to keep these old and better performing appliances to keep them dry and your good to go.
