Don't use a heater as it could set the paint on fire.
EDIT: I mean to say, don't put a heater facing the painted part as it could cause a fire. Using a heater to warm up the metal first isn't a bad idea. If you heat up the metal first, you can paint the surface and use a flood light type lamp to help keep it warm to cure correctly.

That makes sense. It might be worth a decent flood lamp for this because like I had mentioned, I gotta get the frame painted and ready by Feb to keep with my schedule. Does that make sense? Also, a laser temp gauge might be helpful, so one at HF for about 25 bucks.
