When I painted my forks (not got round to the fame yet, bike to much fun being ridden) I left them for about 4 days in the sun and house at night, it chipped where the quick realise mechanism goes, but so do a lot of bikes.....
My biggest trouble was the dreaded orange peel, but plenty of tcut and elbow grease got rid of that. 1 point though, when you polish them the first few times use a different coloured cloth then you'll be able to see if any paint is coming off
