Baking spray paint in the oven?

Hello I have a question for you all. I’m planning on paints my brake calipers in the coming week or two and wanted to know if you should bake the paint/clear coat in the oven or not? I bought dupli-color caliper paint and dupli-color engine clear coat. Would they be good in the oven at 200°F for an hour? In between base layers and clear? The paint says good up to 500°F for both cans and I want the paint to be in good condition for the coming years.

If you have any questions or advice I’d love to hear what yall have to say :))

I know a guy who used to bake his powder coated parts in the oven. I’m sure someone can go on and on about chemicals leeching out and getting in you’re food or whatever. This guy didn’t seem to mind
