ive used different types of paint, the last one said on the tin 95 degrees for an hour, another said get it to 200 degrees then its done, depends on the paint and whats on the directions,a few will tell you if it comes out of an aerosol can it will dry overtime and baking isnt necessary, i just do whats on the can myself, whether it helps or not i dont know for sure,

I usually do it in stages as a lot of paints say gently or gradually heat to cure.
I start at about 80 degrees for 10 mins then turn up a bit every five minutes till I get to 200 degrees.
30 mins all in usually enough.

Here`s a numbty question, when putting painted black items in the oven, how hot is the oven and how long do I leave them in. if your referring to anything that comes out of a aerosol can it will be solvent based and there for will dry naturally usually 12 hours at room temp maximum as it will just rely on the solvent evaporating to cure it. the added heat will speed up the process but also introduces the risk of a defect called solvent pop that will give a dull hazey finish. stove enamel is the only type of wet paint i know of that needs heating to cure but that is slightly different all together.. sorry if ive gave a completely different answer to the majority,just my 2p worth that's worked for me.

Thanks all for your help. Paint came out of a can so as you say should cure itself.
