It will harden by itself but spray booths have ovens to speed up the process and get onto the next job but you don't need heat for a helmet or tank.

thats something we dont use unless its an extreme rush and then bits will go in an oven. a good day in the sun also does the trick otherwise its just left to cure itself and the customer is told when its ready if its something like a tank. i never tell a customer their tank will be ready in 1 week anyway and they understand the time it will take.

Anyone who wants their helmet painted should have a look at these guys. I dropped in there Friday arvo, and had a look at some of their work.

John Kral in Berwick is a great helmet painter also.. he pretty much has a lock on the entire V8 supercar field. 

Here's one of my brother's helmets he painted back in '01:

His more recent work is pretty spectacular.
