The only difference between "baking" enamel and plain old enamel are additives to help keep it from orangepeeling or discoloring because of the heat. "Baking" the paint does absolutely nothing to improve the quality or hardness of paint. In fact it can make the overall appearance of the paint poorer. All baking does that could be considered good is speed the cure. It's like putting a drop of water on a glass & putting a fan on it. It dries faster but when it's dry it's no "dryer" than if it'd dried normally.
