I will be leaving these on the roof tomorrow to grab some sunshine. That alone will do lots to help harden the paint since it will be warm again tomorrow. This is chemically activated paint, it will harden on its own in due time.
Years ago, when I painted for a living, I shot lots of enamel and that required some baking to harden the paint. Todays paints require a lot less of that.
My concern is how much damage they take from mounting tires, if they take a beating from tire changes, I will just repaint them as needed.

I don't have heat lamps. I may invest in them someday down the road, but I am not too interested in getting them just yet.
