Question about paint dry time in hot weather I spray-painted primer on the trunk weatherstrip area of my civic yesterday (around noon, and mid-afternoon), after removing all rust from the area, and before I put on a new weatherstrip. The paint says to only repaint within 2 hours of the previous layer, or otherwise after 48 hours of dry-time. Will the warm weather that we're having reduce the dry-time before I can repaint the vehicle enough so that I could paint the colour coat today, or should I wait until tomorrow? My car's sitting outside, in the sun for some hours in the day, but in the shade for more hours out of the day. |
Only thing that can make paint dry faster is if you watch it ... the sun, dry heat won't do a damn thing. |
Lol. Looks like it. I tried a bit of additional primer on top of the previous layer, and it did this. http://i.imgur.com/MBMkCv7.jpg I guess putting more paint on top of paint that hasn't fully dried but has partly hardened caused the partly-hardened paint to re-liquefy, move, and cause these folds. I'll wait a couple of days, then sand it, and then either re-primer it and wait. Or, if there's still enough primer on it after sanding and it's smooth, maybe I'll just put the colour coat on it then. |
