Well, I managed to find myself a toaster oven today. Which meant time to try out my new gun. Had a few odds and ends laying around begging to be a different color. I blasted a piston, stuck it in the oven at 400 for 20 min or so then cleaned it again and shot it. I'm pleased with the results. A little orange peeled, but passable for the first try, I think. What causes orange peel? Not bad orange peel. You can only see it if you look at the reflection a certain way. I snapped a pic, but the lighting wasn't great for snapping a close up pic of somthing glossy black. Thanks to all who have offered advice. And thanks to all those who did more than offer advice. Tomorrow, I'm going to try to shoot some of the chrome with a clear coat. Advice on that would be welcome.
