All the white metal castings I have received and sold have almost always needed some work on them. Not unusual as the molds were out. I think most use silicone spin casting process for this.

I would paint in the Grille area too, Theo. Does not quite look right now. Coming along nicely and the colors you have chosen are great. The box in Red will look really good.

I don't trust white metal to the toaster oven either. I use Infrared light bulbs. There is not enough sun here to dry by it for most of the year. Not when it is warm any way and I am not building a sun room on the deck.
