Most newer, high-end body shops still bake the paint but it's not like factory paint. Body shops bake at much lowers temps. The chemical make up of the paint and catalyst is different from OEM paint. I would give the new paint 30-60 days for the paint to fully cure. 6 months seems a bit excessive IMO.
