Thread: Enamel paint drying time

Cold + wet weather = longer drying times for paint. You can add dryers to paint however it must be done before application. For the oxidation process to occur you just have to wait untill the days warm up a bit.Or put some heaters in the shed.
Lucky for you it had managed to cure some what before the cold and wet got to it, or you would be up against a problem called blooming. Thats where the cold kills the gloss and turns the paint white in places.

Thanks Tyrepower

I wanted to and play in the mud with all this rain we have had but she will have to stay put.

Staceys dad is handy with a spray gun and has painted a few cars. We did one for my sister in the last school hols. He said to leave it up to 3 weeks before giving it a tea cut and polish. But i assume it all depends on what paint you used. Matt

Hi Ace
If it needed a cut/polish he would have used acrylic not enamel.No need to polish this one,its already too shiny for a series [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
I will have to muddy it up soon.
