    yes, i use the alumahyde, along with an electric oven to cure the paint. I do a light soda blast to clean and rough the lower up. Ultrasonic dip to remove any particulates, dry with compressor, then shoot. If you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, a good soak in very hot water works. The instructions are fairly simple. I make it more complicated, then it needs to be.

    Easy way is, some brake cleaner, wipe it down, spray again, dry then paint.

    do you bake after each coat or paint, let dry, paint again, and when you have enough coats then bake?

    I'm cheap and of the mind, if i can paint it once. I can do it again. So 2 coats, dried between each, then call it good. Bert mentioned a CL give away. I have a powder coating oven, but i'd be looking for a used electric oven, next time
