[QUOTE="Clark, post: 933046, member: 6600"] I have tried lacquer based oven cured and rustoleum spray paints. But the lacquer vapors gave me brain damage and the rustoeum peels off or wears off. I am now using BROWNELLS - ALUMA-HYDE® II [url=http://www.brownells.com/aspx/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=1117]ALUMA-HYDE® II | Brownells[/url] I have had some problems with it, but Brownells has been very helpful and the stuff is cheap. Brownells is like RCBS, they are TOO nice. I feel guilty after they help me more than I deserve. To really do it right, I need 90 degree weather or direct sunshine. We don't get that for 9 months at a time in the Seattle area. So I made a paint box out of cardboard. I bought a 450 Watt heating plate at Goodwill for $5. They have lots of them. I put that on the bottom. I made a baffle out of cardboard so the hot air can convect up from the hot plate, but paint can't land on the hot plate. I put a meat thermometer in the top. I used a rubber band around two sheet rock screws for a door latch. I draped an old blanket over the box. It gets up to 90 degrees.
