Baking won't improve your paint job or make it more durable. It just speeds solvent evaporation. Manufacturers and paint shops do it to get the stuff out the door faster.

Put your frame in a hot summer attic for a few days. It will accomplish the same thing. You shouldn't be painting in the cold months anyway.
