baking paint n discs

Post by sparki » Wed May 15, 2013 11:37 am

i seem to recall this being asked recently but i'll be damned if i can find it now... i thought i'd start cleaning up some manky paint on discs and calipers this coming weekend seeing as my freshly coated frame and swingarm are back from yer man down the road.... and was wondering what a safe oven temperature would be to bake the paint on at without causing them to warp?

that's all :)

thanks guys!

not sure.... likely some thing on the shelf in hte garage if i'm honest... there's a bit of a selection so is there anything i shouldn't be using?... i figured high temp of something or other for the calipers and black anything for the disc inner bits
