I was just going to add this in an edit to the above post but decided it needed to be addressed separately.
Just purchased the trio of VHT products, following their recipe of color primer, paint, clearcoat. This does require a curing process of varying temps and times. I.e. Paint must be completely dry before curing
The reason being would be its controlled times and temps. The only caveat is, to reach the 650deg. requires the self-clean cycle. Ours will run at 880deg. so that is over the temp in the instructions.
Under the instruction for the parts being on the vehicle, the last step is under normal operating conditions and I'm guessing that temp would be above 880deg?
So theoretically, I can use the self-clean and then cut off at 30 minutes?
