Hmmm might be a bit dodgy, once the heat builds up in the drum the paint will go soft and splatter. . . Been there and done it lol

Same setup I've had for a year now and it's still working well, I've fried a bulb But I think it was because it came loose
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
