After searching countless threads, I hope someone can give a firsthand account of painting a stand.
I had a buddy weld up my single-tier stand, cleaned it, and proceeded to paint it with VHT engine paint. I was so pumped to get the thing all dressed up, when I realized you are required to bake the paint for several hours....
The stand has been sitting in my 100+ degree brew room in southern New Mexico for over a month, which I know is no substitute for the recommended baking procedures, but am curious.... will the entire stand start to flake and peel? Of course I expect the burner shrouds/wind shields to burn off, but what about the rest of the stand?
Should I expect to strip the entire thing and start over...? Properly this time???
