Dan: Bake your painted articles in your barbeque grill for a couple of hours at
the high heat setting. This will bake off that nasty smell and make things
tolerable.

We have a winna! Most of these high-temp paints require, repeat
REQUIRE, high temperatures to cure. I've used a bunch of this stuff
on headers and mufflers, also on my plumber's furnace, they all
required extended baking at high temps before they quit stinking. On
the headers, the smoke quit coming off after about 15 minutes, but
they still smelled for days afterwards when I drove the car. I don't
think a bake oven is going to do the job. With the furnace, after I
fired it up for an extended session of about 4 hours, the paint was
cured. This runs hot enough to make the bottom of the cast iron
crucible red hot. Hasn't peeled yet, either.
