I don't think its a necessary experiment.
There are vacuum pumps that create a vacuum environment.
Chemical reactions that take place when paint dries are well known, and the effects of a vacuum on it are fairly easy for a chemist to predict.
My very basic chemistry knowledge suggests:
A vacuum should dry the paint faster, if the actual process is actually "drying", aka, loosing H2O or some other volatile chemical that evaporates. Vacuum is the lowest pressure state possible, accelerating the drying process.
For instance when aircraft accumulates frost, the higher the altitude, the faster the frost sublimates, as H2O wants to become a vapour and fill out the vacuum.
In perfect vacuum liquids do not exist. When temperature increases in vacuum solid sublimate directly into gas. Triple point - Wikipedia
Phase diagram: Liquid does not exist when pressure is below triple point.

Yah, you are right, I picked up those temperatures from the phase diagrams, but they were not focused on the hard vacuum side. Triple point for Mercury is 234.3156 K, 1.65×10−7 kPa, which is three to four orders of magnitude above low earth orbit at 1-70×10-8 Pa.
