Just a quick question on paint/lacquer.

[JamesWilson]

Hi clio-ers,
I'm painting the diamonds in the center of my alloys. So far I've sanded them down, sprayed a few coats of primer and started to spray on the colour. My question is, do I need to let the colour fully harden (24hrs setting time) before spraying on lacquer ? Or can I just go ahead and spray on once the colour has dried (15-20 mins) ?
Answers on a postcard please
Thanks

I think it should be fine after 15-20 mins it's the lacquer that need 24hrs to harden iirc.

I leave a day in between each stage e.g primer day 1, colour day 2, lacquer day 3 just to be on safe side.

thanks for the reply's, think I'll leave it over night now before lacquering. It's getting a bit cold outside to be painting now.
