They will NOT hold up to the heat or any chemicals... (cleaning or fuel) I recommend beadblasting like you stated.. then clean VERY well with a solvent based cleaner (Prep solvents) Then apply either an Epoxy primer or an etch primer. (epoxy would be best) If you use an Epoxy primer then you can topcoat with either a bc/cc urethane or a single stage urethane. Stay away from Lacquers and Enamels. They will not hold up. As for the chip... post a pic of it and Im sure someone here can help you decide if its bad or not Quote

I also dont believe you can get them in a spray can either. They are all activated w/ catalyst. This makes them cure/harden. I would look into having the cases powdercoated. It may be more cost effective for you if you dont have access to spray guns and other necessary tools/equipment. Quote
