I'll look at trying that next time. This was a back yard project done with 
an air-brush, small sandblaster and the kitchen oven. 4years later there is 
still no sign of any of the coatings coming off on the aluminum,stainless or 
cast iron. I'm sure a shop like Jet-Hot does superior work, but this seems 
to do fine(so far). I used the tech-line stuff.
Thanks for the acid tip, I just might have to try it soon :) .
