Now if I only knew...
...why one of these is $2.00 and the other is $12.00.
Needed a reason to shoot a pic with my b-day present from my honey ;-)

Well, the only OZ SL I've had bent was one that was painted, not even powdercoated.
& I doubt they baked the paint @ the temps that you would bake powder coat. Of course OZ claims to use unique alloys as well, so who knows.
I also vaguely recall something about reheating things that are already heat treated being a problem. But for the most part I'm working from hear say.
There are other coatings that you could use without taking the risk.
