Hey guys...I am restoring some old school aluminum rims and I heard from a friend is that to speed up the paint drying process, you can put the rim(s) into the oven and bake it for a bit.

Has anybody tried this before???
thanks

 

Yeah, low heat (under 150 degrees F Id say) should help it dry faster...how are you gonna fit a wheel into your oven though...my headlights from my civic barely fit!

How long should I leave the wheel in there at 150 degrees F?????
I'll have to see if the wheel fits, but it should...my mom has some crazy oven at home

 

anybody??? I wanna cook me some rims

 

Id put them it at 120 if you opnly pinted the tops and leave it there for 90 mins

 

if you end up doing this process let me know in an im how it goes i am interested
