I painted the frame too, blue Hammerite spray paint, and the paint is so soft I can scratch it off with my fingernail! I clearly didn't do a very good job of cleaning it before painting.
/QUOTE]
It may not necessarily be your fault - over the years I've had very mixed results with Hammerite - it's never dried particularly quickly, but some coats/colours have hardened OK after a week or so, other were still soft months later even with lots of care with surface prep. I don't know whether temperature is an issue in your case, but I've heard other people say it's best to keep it warm to accelerate the drying.
Well done on the shimming BTW
