Hi MF,
Yes it was baked for around 2 hours after painting and letting it flash off.
The badge appears as if it was an original Scott Bonnar manufactured product from its day, it's that good.
Probably going to apply the decals to the Chain case today as the paint on that is about a week old now as I wasn't quite happy with the original finish and decided to fully resurface it and thus it was only redone last Sunday afternoon. Even with the baking process used this paint still takes some time to completely go hard right down to the base material.
Cheers,
BB.
