The baking process is done prior to the dipping process, although for an additional fee, you can have the car "dryed out" in the furnace afterwards.

If you mean after a solvent based stripping and the goo that can leak out Yes it does. Makes welding the seams easy.

The heat does not warp anything that i can see. The body lead sloughs off and I found out that the aluminum spacers under the door hinges are better left off during. I wet the fenders and doors and inspected them with a light and they look true. Not that it matters for what i am building.
