Honestly, it's been so long since I have painted anything that I don't even remember what times or temperatures I used...

A couple of times I had to use the big oven because the parts wouldn't fit this one. I was using VHT Header Paint, 1300 -2000*. They recommend
Bake at 250-30 minutes, cool for 30,  Bake at 400- 30 minutes, cool for 30, and 600-30 minutes, cool for 30. Then put the headers on and cycle the heat some more using your engine. The information on the steps and temps are on the can. I think grill paint is a little different.
Lucky for me when I used the big oven to hit the 600* mark it was nice out and the windows were open. The Halogen doesn't get over 480*.
