This is an issue that SHOULD be important to preservationists. Because everyone seems to be rushing to this sphere.
Can we have an open discussion of this topic? Even I will keep an open mind, and I'm opposed to it. But, what makes this method of paint application the one of choice? Cheap? - no doubt about that, other than you'll probably have to re-think it later. The fact that anyone with an oven can do it? What about the long-term effects? I've seen chips from dropping a socket that are as big as my knuckle - down to bare metal! And, why not just paint the pieces? Spare me the environmental crap! Oh, by the way, the finish sucks on the best of them. OK, do your duty. If you've done it(p/c'd anything), why did you use this process, rather than conventional paint? Stirring the pot. I'm really good at it too! Pat |
