Ment to leave it around 2 weeks if its not oven baked, but this is said if you plan to machine polish it

 

[Final Maxim]

is it going into a booth or outside?

generally if it aint baked, overnight it will be hard enough to polish etc, just nothing too harsh.

couple weeks to cure properly

 

[adamlewis01]

really? flippin heck, 2 weeks, i was thinking more like a couple of days. there outside now, just put first coat on.

 

[Final Maxim]

be more specific, dry as in ok to drive or dry as in ok to machine polish, wax and seal?

leave 24 / 48 hours before fitting freshly laquered wheels, they will take a week or so to fully harden

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]
