that high temp ceramic paint always seems to melt of anyways. Don't waste your time especially on a turbo, when you exhaust temps are going to be reaching well over 1000 degree F. You are going to smell a funky burning smell.
If you want to cure it properly on the car you need to do more than just heat it up. You need to do a series of cool-downs as well. You may be able to find exact directions for the product you used, but the typical sequence is as follows:
1. Let idle for 10 minutes.
2. Let cool for 10 minutes.
3. Let idle for 20 minutes.
4. Let cool for 20 minutes.
5. Go for as long a drive as you want (any amount > 45 minutes, normal and aggressive driving).
6. Let cool completely (many hours, or overnight is best)
The best thing to do is to find specific directions for the product you have, but in general, this is a good sequence to cure high temperature coatings. The last step is quite important; don't go for a long drive and then stop at 7-11 or something for a couple of minutes. Take your long drive and then park the car until it is completely cool.
If you painted the turbo exhaust housing with off-the-shelf high temp paint, good luck, because it won't last long or do a very good job insulating.
