yup...
spray can enamel will actually bake nicely.. like about 180 degrees or so for an hour.
actually you are just heating it, like a heated paint booth. it cures the paint quickly and seems to help it stick better.
great for small parts and brackets that you need to install soon.
I have had great results with hand painting details in hubcaps with model paint and a brush, then baking on- the brush marks flow out nice and it looks "enameled".

I saw one guy on a furum say to preheat oven to 350, then turn it off. put the parts in and keep them in there till the oven is cool.

edit: my experience is on chrome and stainless caps.... are those alum caps anodized? not sure if that makes a difference.
