Quick paint question

[Tom_16v]

My cars getting sprayed at the moment, not the whole car, just a few panels and a spoiler. How long would it take to dry?

Thanks

Tom

what ??........lol.......once the panels have been sprayed then it needs to be baked in the booth for about 30 mins...depending on what type of paint we are talking about here....is you car a straight colour or metalic ?? ....well anyways....whatever...... 2 pack or base & lacquer.....once its out of the booth & cooled down its gonna be dry...but dont do anything heavy to it for a week or so....like heavy waxing or jet washing !!..( dont take it through a car wash )....just to make sure its fully cured.......thing is with all the new paints & lacquers on the market now they are usually fine once they have cooled down from the booth !!....depends on what make of paint/lacquer your body shop has used.....cheap or good quality !!............how long will it take for the paint to dry....how longs a piece of string ?..............only somthing the sprayer can tell you.....I.E only the person who cut the string can tell you !!

sorry i cant really be much help.......just talking in riddles & rhymes latley !!

like the man says once its painted the booth goes on back for 30-45 mins then ya good to go

it was flat and polished the next day an the waxing process started that day, i wouldnt take my car through a car wash even if there was a hosepipe ban lol
