It may be some problems like the following list.

First ,The staining may be made by the oil or water on the parts surface or from the enveroment.

Second,it may be some relation with the bake condition.Some paint need it's special baking condition(include temp ,time).

Noel: While I don't have any experience with your specific problem. I have had some post baking staining problems on a zinc plating line. Our problem was related to the quality of water in our final rinse tank. Whenever the pH became slightly acidic(<6.8) we would see black spots develope after the baking step. Problem solved by increase the water flow rate and dumping more freqently. Bob Holderman
