I hope you aren't thinking of putting it in the oven that you plan on cooking food in. Powercoating is the only thing you do that with.
When body shops ect. refer to baking the paint, they just put it under some lights that emit heat. They don't use an oven per say. It just speeds up the paint curing process so they can move onto another car quicker.

depends on the paint you're using. are you just talking about baking standard plain jane paint? not necessary. Or are you talking about the hi-temp stuff that says on the can to bake it on? (like most 1500F type paints...) in which case, read the can....
but yea, avoid household ovens.... what about a bar-b-q? with flame turned real low.... (then again, it's still an open flame near a flammable paint...)

I usually put it in the oven at 200F for about an hour, then turn off the heat and let it cool to near room temperature before I take it out.
