Re: Freshly sprayed carbon bootlid - how long to wait?

[cingli]

Hi, I just had a carbon bootlid sprayed and want to install it over the weekend. Because it's carbon it wasn't baked. How long should I wait until I can install it to make sure it's dry?

Did they use any Rocket to make it go off quicker. Why didn't they just bake it lower for longer?
Normally 24hrs but in your case at least 36 till it goes outside.

Thanks Duncan, they just told me to leave it as long as possible to air dry. I've got a fan gently doing sweeps if it at the moment to try and make it cure quicker, so impatient!

Not sure I'd use a fan.
You're basically blowing dust on to it.
Better to set any heaters you have around it.

Paint is already dry to the touch but I wanna be sure it's hardened sufficiently.
