This one just needed a wheel loktited.
The one I ruined the paint on was my restored Scorpion Horizontal.
It was painted with high temp paint but obviously not high enough.  


Did you bake it first?

Yes the paint was baked and the baking did harden the paint up but the paint was only rated to 490C and meths get hotter than that.
