How to heat cure paint on stove legs ?

[Birkie]

I found a 1993-95? Lopi Endeavor and have been sanding the light rust off with steel wool for several days now. Today I had the fun part of painting the heat shields front and back, stove box, door and legs. It looks good, but I am wondering how you heat cure the legs, and maybe even the heat shields? I don't think they will get hot enough to "cure". The Stove Bright manual says cross-linking occurs at 400-450 degrees and air dry resin burns away at 600 degrees.

Thoughts?

Don't worry about it. If the area doesn't get hot enough it won't outgas.

Thanks. I was thinking more about the durability of the paint for areas that don't get cured by heat. Guess there is not too much I can do about that.

A heat gun?
