It means it has to be baked at that temperature before the paint is fully dry. It will probably reach that temp on the car running.

Dont do that. the fumes may never go away and you dont want your next b-day cake smelling like paint.

Should be on the can mate, curing it in the oven (or barby) will help the paint resist any chemicals (petrol, oil, cleaning products) and prevent cracking/flaking. Just read the can a few times before you give it a crack, just to be sure.
All the best!
Oh and pics please when your done
