All you have to do is move to Phoenix and set it in the sun!  Even in the winter, I get perfect results!

The VHT paint is about the most consistent I have found. 

However, I just had 5 BC-375 tuning unit drawers powder coated with black wrinkle, can’t beat it for durability!

I pre-heat larger items. Also, oven cure pieces at 200 deg F.

Do you heat the box before or after painting?
