how do you guys go about doin big stuff like rims and frames. do you hang em or lay them flat? do half, bake then the other half?


let me know how you do it.

Re: big project how toos

Best thing I did when I first started was to maximize my oven space is build a small frame that i could hang the part in. It was a pain to coat some pieces, but no other way could I have utilized the space better than with out it... At the time I didn't have a welder so that was a pop riveted frame made out of 1" aluminum angle. Hung everything from stainless steel safety wire.

brad , when i do wheels i take safety wire and wrap around the inside dish part of the wheel and make a look and hange it from a hook . then hang it up , then just coat both sides and cook .


for bike frames i just hang them by the neck

We do the same but use a chain instead of wire

Re: big project how toos

thats what i was thinking! ...yeah, my oven is plenty big enough (thanks to ted @ teds fabrication. oh by the way ted, we DID have to cut out my wall and make the shop bigger. that thing is HUGE!! lol) i want to do it all at once (RIMS/FRAMES) and thats what i was thinking about tie'n em up, but i didnt want any wire touching where i have to paint @.


like i said, it never hurt to get diffrent ideas and you guy just are full of em!!
