Biobaggie took a factory tour and posted the baking time and temperatures for the paint. This might be useful if you want to paint a part and bake it as well (such as the center console).

The painting process accounts for one-fourth of the total build time i.e. 26.5 man hours. In summary the paint process is:
Primer – 110 - 140 microns, 2 coats baked at 80 deg C for 40 mins
Paint – 20 - 25 microns, 2 coats baked at 80 deg C for 80 mins
Lacquer (inc. metallic for lifestyle colors) – 50 – 70 microns, 2 coats baked at 80 deg C for 40 mins.
8 – 10 litres of paint are used per car.
