I believe the original Gun Kote is what KG calls their series 1600 coating.
Gun Kote has to be sprayed on parts pre-heated to 100 degrees or so.
Then after spraying the parts have to be baked at 300 to 325 degrees for at least one hour.
I use my family oven to cure my Gun Koted parts. The next 5 or 6 pizza's I cook in the oven do taste a bit funny after baking the Gun Koted parts!!!!!

That reminds me of an old joke
Two cannibals are eating a clown, one cannibal turns to the other and says " does this taste funny to you?"
Sorry

Seems like there was a build thread around here in which the builder used gold gun coat on his engine.
