When you are accelerating the curing / drying of paint you should be aware of the two processes taking place. The molecular cross-linking of the coating (Curing) and the evaporation of either solvents or water or both (Drying)
The heat generated by infrared simply accelerates the curing process, but flash off times and bake cycles should be controlled. TRISK produces a wide range of paint curing data for all the leading brands to ensure the best result in the shortest time. Paints used in manufacturing can vary significantly from the average 2K or Urethane coatings found in refinish as specific trigger temperatures must be reached. The temperatures required here can be over 140c. Waterborne coatings like base coat are best treated with simple air movement.
