I know its an old (but not too old) thread, but you don't need to heat a whole shed, just a big enough box made out of that Dow blue (or similar 1 inch thick should do) insulating foam. Put in 1 or 2 lamps that can handle 100 watt incandescent light bulbs (depending on the size of the box) and a small fan (set on low) to circulate the air inside and you're done. (let the paint dry a little bit first though and don't get the light bulb too close to your parts or the foam insulation.) I did a similar thing when doing epoxy layups in a plastic mold.
Part on the left was done without regulated temperature (garage that was cool and later warmed up) and the one on the right that turned out far better was. (epoxy composite part cured in a maintained and regulated 85° F enclosure)
BTW, those are parts of the "tail fin" for my Honda 250cc Reflex scooter "Javelin" streamliner project.
