If you don't have one, pick up a cheap countertop pizza oven. CL or a garage sale will net them for nearly free...if not free. They work excellent for curing and also hardening the paint on small parts like this. Paint the parts, let them dry enough to handle, then bake for 15-20 minutes.

These days I stay out of trouble if I stay out in the shop. My wife and I work together. By the end of the day she is ready to have some quiet time with her Kindle and the dogs.

Excellent idea Jeff, I will have to give it a try. Last time I cured parts in an oven, it was in the house. As you can imagine, that only happened once.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra "Scarlett"

Once you get that pizza oven you're halfway to powder coating. I have a powder coat kit from HF and use a pizza oven I picked up at walmart to cure the parts. You may have room in your garage for someone's used kitchen oven.
