Default Powder Contamination

Hello all,
In my latest project, I used a candy lime powder which turned out fantastic at first glance. The problem is, the closer I got to the part, I noticed little black specs in the finish. I figure it was from not cleaning the gun out well enough, but I blow out the gun really well in between powders. Could these specs be from powder floating around in the air or in the oven? Is there any other way of cleaning a gun besides blowing it out? Anything will help. Thanks guys.

Popeye is an unknown quantity at this point

I use a couple different gun cleaning brushes on mine. I broke the glue joint loose on the barrel so I can remove and clean better.
Make sure you blow your oven out once in a while as well.
