Thanks for the replies and suggestions guys.
Concerning A and B, the aluminum oxide is new and I cleaned the cabinet before adding the abrasive. Could the air pressure be too high impaling the abrasives into the substrate? The color is orange; cure time is 15 minutes at 375.
C) Thanks for explaing, makes great sense.
D) Looks like you really do like that gun! I believe that's the one I will get, but can I get a couple more recommendations on guns. I would like to compare features and see what else works great.
E) Please tell me if I'm reading this right: Power wash the part, use paint stripper, blast the part and pre-bake a few times? When I pre-baked the part, the oil stood up all over the valve cover. Should I continue to pre-bake and clean until it is all gone, or degrease with something else? What do you guys use to degrease?
F) Thanks for the recommendations on e-bay powder. I will heed your advice.

Thanks again guys! I will use Caswell for my next purchases. How could I not, after they facilitated my learning all this great information? I hope that I may help some new guys in the future, as you guys are doing. Thanks again!

Regards,
Deke
