Heh thanks! I like that one because of the great view of the city from up there!

One more paint question, you mentioned baking the engine enamel after it’s sprayed. Could you share some of your process. I have my swingarm stripped down and prepped. I have my paint. Just wondering temps and about how long in oven at those temps? did you warm the part first a little than spray it or spray it and put it in the oven?

Uh, I just did what it said on the can..

Ok cool that helps me out a bunch. I don’t think I would be asking if the can I have said how to bake the ****. I figured it out already.

I don't know if you want to bake just any old paint, it could easily catch fire. The stuff I told you to get, the DupliColor engine enamel, is formulated with ceramic, so it dries hard as a coffin nail, but you need to bake it for maximum hardness. The baking instructions are directly on the can. I don't remember what they are. Likely if your can doesn't have curing directions, it likely isn't meant to be baked. Don't smoke your house out.

Right I get that about baking any paint. I have the exact paint you just said above. There are no baking instructions on the can. Hence why I asked. I already read the can. No worries. I will go with what I have found one the interzones.

Slick_Nick, many thanks to you for sharing these detailed photos. Seems like you have a "new" KDX. Very, very cool.
