A 6 month paint hardening time is due to slow release of the volatile solvents.

Typically this is due to too thick of a single coating application.

Manufacturers of paint recommend thin applications of multiple coats so the solvent can come out of the paint and that allows proper curing.

Heat and proper application of the paint helps remove the solvent and allows for proper cure.
