Sometimes you want to use high heat paint on parts from your projects and to cure it properly it should be baked on. Now there's a smell given off from this so what I've done in the past and today is I'll take an old halogen table top oven, place it in the garage and use that to bake the paint. There's a
piece of parchment paper on the wire racks so the base plate I painted won't stick. Follow the directions on the paint, and the first heating I use is 300
 degrees for an hour, cool for an hour. Second one is just under 400 for an hour and then cool for hour or until you can handle it. The parchment paper I had is safe to 420 but I'm not going to push it. These halogen oven's are on Ebay and used ones can be had as cheap as $25,

I have never heard of or seen such an oven... I use a toaster oven for the same thing. I went with a convection oven to avoid any hot spots that may ruin the paint job.

Nick, would you use the same times and temps in the toaster oven. Plus heat it 2 times in the oven.
