Have a steel fuel cap and other small parts I would like to coat. Would like to try to bake enamel using an old electric oven. Just wondering if you can use enamel paint from a hardware store and what sort of temps and process would give good results. Do you bake the enamel in stages? Any advice would be great.

I would contact a crash repairer or paint shop who may use this process .I wouldn`t do it in an oven you are using to cook food in you might taste paint in your sunday roast LOL.

"Baked" doesn't mean it has to be done in an oven. It simply means a slightly higher temperature is used to cure the paint a bit quicker. If you're doing small items you could probably just use a largish box ith a perspex lid thats been out in the sun. Fr
