Well I just got a extractor system with a single quiet pack for muy new 
engine, and I think that I have the same type paint on it.  My plan is to 
sandblast all it off and go back with this "hot paint" which has to dry and 
then be cured for 1 hour at 650 deg F.  Anyone know how hot the extractor 
will get?  I don't think that I can get 650 deg in my kitchen.  I would hate 
to think of the smell :-(.  Any ideas?
