My tips came in today. I went got some high temp paint that can withstand up to 2000F degrees!!!! Will post pix upon completion.

Prep Time - 20 minutes
Paint Time - 40 minutes
Dry Time - 1 hour
Bake Time - 3 hours!!!
Odd and Ends - 30 minutes

Total time accomplished will be - 5.5 hours!

After the paint dries, gotta bake this way:

600F for 30 min then cool 30 min
