i've done it, but if you get the paint too hot it starts to bubble, a gentle waft is all you need, like your dispersing a fart with your hand.

as above ive done it when painting some steel wheels helps a bit but really nothing beats a warm baking day or an oven really, in times like this can take a good fortnight for paint to properly harden

on my note why paint hammerite on arches? :/

Use this stuff.

One can will do your inner arches, goes on nice, and dries pretty quick, and it won't chip like paint.
