i painted edrigs beams red, but when its in steam, the paint seems to go a bit taky, not very much, but it you were to scratch it, it would leave a mark.
any idea why and how it can be cured

What type of paint did you use? If it was aerosol baking in the oven when touch dry @ 50 degrees c normally hardens it so that this is not a problem

Ye take them off via the screws on the frames (not the front you'll ruin the finish. I leae mine in there for 30 mins and it comes out good.

Hmmm don't know about the gas mark, can't see it being above 1 though, for an oven 50 is not very hot. But that paint is one of the ones that needs heating, although it should be as soon as its touch dry when applied.
Don't think the heat should affect the buffers as they are fairly big and are poor heat conductors

I still prefer to use the High temp paint that is used on car brake calipers and bake for 3 hours at 100C
