Default Curing caliper paint Oven or Tampa sun?

Sprayed my stock C3 steel calipers with Duplicolor caliper paint. Followed instructions on can. Surface prep was done right. I'm not in a time crunch. Any benefits to throwing them in the kitchen oven? Will letting them sit in the Tampa sun accomplish the same thing?

FYI... calipers were remove from car (obviously), split in half, all hardware removed.

The sun should be okay due to putting them in an oven I would not want to do that and effect the seals .

- DO NOT use your kitchen oven to bake paint. some might say it's OK, but solvent fumes in with diner -

room temperature dry or your so-called, hot tampa sun - OK,
