I got the paint today.The gun is on back-order...as usual when they go on sale.Have to order them from China. Say with a chinese accent"Your stuff on back-order big boy".I messed with the paint anyway cleaned a piece steel really well ,etched it with some dupont etching solvent.rinsed it.After it was dry I sprinkled some red powder on the piece about the size of a nickel. Put it in the oven.(I have a industrial oven at work) This paint is 450 degrees for 15 minutes. (Ruby red).Well I took it out after the time and put next to the fan to cool. The paint was Hard and shiney.could not scratch it with my fingernail.After 1 hour I put some laquer thinners on it and it would not come off.This stuff looks really good.I will keep you informed when I get the gun and contact other coating companys to match IH colors.I believe other paints have tempertures that range from 250 degrees to 450 degrees.Curing time changes also. I wonder if you can use high heat lamps for big pieces?Ahh more research...........

Hey guys. Disregard this statement. I was thinking of "metal spraying" with metal powder & metal spray gun.........
