The recommended etching primer gave the perfect base coat per Drews instruction.
The next step was Dupli-Color high temperature wheel paint.
The third and final step was Dupli-Color High Performance clear wheel coating.
Three coats each of primer, paint, and coating were applied with plenty of dry time throughout the process.
When dry, the cylinder was placed in the over at 170 degrees for an hour.
The cylinder remained in the oven and cooled down at the same rate as the oven.
The cylinder was then left to sit out of the oven overnight at room temperature.
After 6 weeks of rented mule abuse there is no wear near the threads or chipping from popping out the switch for cleaning.
Being on my second standard Xhaler switch, I am looking forward to the
mod switch arriving.
