I am currently doing a rattlecan finish on an old frame & forks to take it from a scrappy old frameset to something a tad more presentable. the forks are already done & i opted for smooth finish white hammerite & i'll be honest it has come up pretty well.
I will be doing the frame once it has been prepped with the same paint but I have the option of baking open to me.
It just so happens, I have a big oven that I can hang a bike frame inside that will burn at anything between 150c & about 210c.
If i was to bake a frame & forks, what would be a good temperature & duration to get a more slightly more durable finish that won't chip the first time it sees a stone?
