I have been wanting to try it that way but I got kids lol so I wouldn't try it haha. The way I cure mine I use a electric heater. I put my valve cover in foam ice chest lol ya I know but hey it works, anyway's i put it halfway's in laying the box down careful not to scuff it, and then I put my heater right in front of it for about a good 45mns to an hour and it heats that baby up quick! The hot air circulates through out the whole box so im assured clean crisp wrinkles all the way around. Works everytime I use that process.

That TL cover looks good. How do you dry the paint and what kind do you use?

Thank you! My favorite paint to use is Duplicolor. Most of their paint is heat resistant and besides I use high temp primer underneath the paint. A working formula :) I cure most if not all my projects with my little electric heater. Works like a charm. Just make sure the heater does'nt build up dust or else it will blow dirt all over your project and just make it a disaster!!!:x

Heres what I have been working on today. Not finished yett. Still gota unmask the polished letters and the masking. For this one I decided to paint through the outer and inner holes only because I thought the metallic purple should flow.

Using the cooler is pretty creative, never seen it done. I moved this to exterior/detailing/etc. it's not really a sale/wanttobuy thread.

Ya they still haven't grew on me either bro lol. I like to do em as a quick easy project. I think its mainly the humps on em that make em unattractive haha.
