Two words: good stuff!

I did the matte black job on my Springfield V10 two-tone. Heated up the parts* in hot water after degreasing, and hung them on a bent wire-hanger for the actual spraying. I placed the large parts directly on the oven rack, and the small parts on a cookie sheet.

Oy, the stink! I placed a large box fan in the front door (pointed out) and set it to high speed. Still took about an hour after baking to clear the air.

After letting the parts cool for about 5 hours, I reassembled the gun. GORGEOUS, and the slide moves like wet ice on wet ice.

*Parts done: Frame, slide, barrel, mainspring housing, hammer and strut, grip safety, thumb safety, trigger (including bow), and guide rod. I totally stripped the frame and slide for the job.
