So after having used the winter to research and build a UDS with several mods, it's now almost done (pics to follow). Everything is dry fitted and good to go. My plan, as far as paint goes, is to hit it with a few coats of the Rustoleum 2000 degree primer (have 3 cans) followed by the Duplicolor dark blue hi temp paint followed by the Duplicolor clear ceramic hi temp for a sleek, glossy look (picked out, not ordered yet).
But first, I'm ready to get it sandblasted to fully get rid of the exterior paint and the rust inhibitor. I know I could probably scrub the interior and leave the exterior paint on but I just prefer the extra peace of mind.
My question is once it's sandblasted, I'm assuming, from reading related threads, that I should get some Pam or oil on the inside ASAP, get the first coat of primer on ASAP, then get a seasoning burn going right away, to avoid rust and to help the primer cure, as it requires some heating and cooling cycles according to the instructions. What have others done? How much time, if any, have you let elapse between sandblasting and painting? Thanks in advance.
