"Fresh" Paint

Car  Astra Twintop
Cars going in for some work tomorrow.

Proper bodyshop.

Is there anything i need to do once ive got the car back?

Avoid washing it for a few days?

First time its had some fresh paint on it.

Cheers
 
If you're into Pc'ing cars wait 2 weeks that's a rough guide of how long basecoat/lacquer takes to FULLY cure.

You can wash it as much as you want, fire wax on it but I would wait till it was rock hard before pc'ing it.

It should be polished and de-nibb'd before you get it back anyway.
 
Cheers gally.

Hopefully the sun stays nice for a few days!

Im off til Wednesday so come Tuesday i might give it a once over!
 
Dont machine polish it for a few weeks. Thats all really. They will clearcote it, so youll be fine. could whack some wax over it if you wanna protect from the elements.
