Baking any painted part really increases it's durability and resistance to fisheye too.



Fish eys happen during painting due to contamination on the surface. How does baking eliminate that from happening?



We were painting a fan with cruddy Krylon spray paint. We sprayed the bead blasted part with laquer thinner, it quickly dried and then it was painted. Had fish eye type areas.

If it were better paint, it would not have been an issue. The more expensive hard to find Industrial Krylon doesn't seem to have those issues.

I cleaned the paint off. Put the fan in my oven. Painted with cheap Krylon. And no issues. And I can run my fingernail across the paint without scratching it. Can't do that with non baked same paint. The heat just seems to promote adhesion. Doesn't run as easy too.
