quick paint question

[bnam]

THinking of "baking" some small parts that I painted in our kitchen oven at 170 or 200F. Any danger?

Your Wife...You may get away with the BBQ.

Too hot. 140 is normal.

Look at the data sheet- it'll tell you what to do.

Honestly, if you have a clean area, NOT baking is better for the

paint. It's just too slow for shops that need to crank out work...

if you're thinking of baking rattle can paint, you'll either start a fire or have wasted your time...if you're using a catalyzed automotive paint there's no need it hardens from a chemical reaction, usually very quickly, depending on ambient temp

It was rattle can paint. The parts had sat in my garage for ~2-3hours after I had painted them but were still just a tad tacky. So, it put it for 10min in the oven at min setting of 170F. And let it sit in there after I turned off the oven at 10min. Hopefully I did not mess it up. Parts look ok right now. And no smell in the oven either. Will let it sit overnight.
