First time using big oven
Bought a second hand homemade oven. Besides the door not closing all of the way, the floor not covering all the ground and most of the wiring needing bigger gauge wires it is actually working well. Restoring an old car lift and the arm pieces were small enough to fit in the oven.

Leaves you room to make it better! Don't let it get neglected too long. I'm bad for that and feel way better once the problem is solved and can move on

Red wing sign
This was my first time doing something like this. The masking was very tedious.

Which colour did you spray first? No doubt took a long time to mask. Looks like it came out good though!
Prepping frames for coating
I have never done a motorcycle frame before and may have an opportunity to do one. My problem is prep. It will not fit in my blast cabinet and I cannot blast it outside at my shop. Have you had this problem and if so what was your solution? I have a guy in town who can do the prep. If I go that route what do I need to do to keep the metal clean during transportation? Thank you for your help.

Make sure you trust them, though. Or that it comes out to your standards, because you will be using their work as your name now once you give it to the customer!
Possible contamination.
Not mine but I thought you all might find it funny.

Aluminum integrity
Over the years I've heard alot of debate over aluminum wheels such as Alcoa aluminum wheels, found on everything from pickups to semis, can't be powder coated due to the heat causing integrity issues with the wheels. Any truths to this, and can a lower heat cure powder like IFS offers keep it within the threshold?

I was talking to a Tiger rep a few months ago and he was talking about them having new lower cure temp powders as well. Sorry, not an answer to your original question but. I've wondered about the same thing but don't have any proof it causes issues, or doesn't cause issues.
