anyone used a toaster oven to cure high-temp paint before?
I've found them useful heating certain suspension parts, but paint? No.
Works for small powder coat jobs....
nope... bud I did bake the "ceramic paint" on a turbo manifold in my home oven lol.
friend also used a toaster oven for powder coating... till he found a free oven on CL.
scary, don't they release toxins while curing?
anyways, regular oven not an option when you have no truck. ;p
CarKid on here has mentioned that he's done it quite a bit. Maybe that and the toxins released explains some of his posts. ( j/k 
)

this is a hobby where we often inhale gasoline fumes and think nothing of it.. i don't think that anything given off from an oven with car parts in it would be any worse.
I have an old toaster oven that I use to cure small painted parts. Used it for all the pieces I painted on my bike (well, the stuff that fit anyway, the wheels and exhaust obviously didn't go in there). Worked great!
I used the kitchen oven at my rental house quite often for all sorts of stupid things. Now that I have a gas oven, I dont cure things with VOCs.
Here i am.
you can totally use a toaster oven for powder coating. You just gotta be super creative for bigger stuff or odd shaped stuff.
its exactly what it looks like. Upside down toaster oven with the crumb tray open and a bucket to contain heat.
BUT you asked about high temp paint.
You can still use the oven
Mine goes to 500 degrees.
I have also had great results using a strong heat gun to "cure paint" takes more time but it works well. I have done a Yugo engine block and head like that. Looked mint. Miata engine block and headers were done with a heat gun too. Just takes some time...nothing huge though.
Hope this helps
Bushings go on a lot easier if the outer part is way hotter than the smaller part.
Small powder coating projects, I can see, but just how many Miatas will fit in a toaster oven?
