baking my brakes in the oven



Ok, here's one for you.  I'm all set to install my big brakes, having assembled all the necessary components (I'm using Todd Candey's bracket's and hats).  I lift the 993 calipers out of the cardboard box they arrived in a year and a half ago, to discover that the clear coat has been badly eaten by leaked brake fluid.  (interesting, the black paint below is OK)  So I order up a can of clear VHT spray paint which arrived yesterday.  On the label it says that for a better finish, the painted item should be cured 20 min at 250F, 30 min at 400F and 30 min at 600F. 
 
So, my question:  These temps are consistent with what a hardworking caliper might encounter in use.   Should I worry about sticking the whole caliper, seals and all in the oven? 
 
Worry, I mean, besides what my wife might say,
