I recently had an interesting experience baking enamel on parts. I
put some small parts that had been primed and painted with spray
enamel into a 200 deg oven. It looked good but the paint later came
off in sheets. The metal was shiny -- the bond was lost between the
primer and the part. Other baked parts were okay where I'd used
engine primer and engine paint. It leads me to beleive some primers
aren't suitable for the bake treatment. Back in the days when I was
on the factory floor we baked beautiful enamel on our equipment in a
huge oven, but I don't know what kind of enamel was used or whether we
even primed the parts. Anyone know enough about paint to enlighten us
on this?
