The brush on hammertone stuff is tough and doesn't leave brush marks when properly applied. Used it on my roll bar.

I did actually use this on my transmission crossmember and it held up great.

81classic....thanks for the tip. I might try that on my next engine build (if I do one).

Next time heating the piece?

I always have better luck with heating the piece somewhat to 'bake' it on

I could've done that, to make sure it cured, but I hung it for literally 2 weeks in my basement, where I have a dehumidifier going all the time. 72 degrees and 40-50% humidity in my basement at all times. I thought that would be long enough. I ended up finding an awesome place that does powder coating very reasonably. 20 bucks later, it looks awesome and will never chip or scratch! If hindsight were 20/20, lol
