I finished repainting my grill today and would like to get a good couple coats of wax on it before I put it on the car. Nothing like bugs on day old paint. My question is how long should the paint cure before I wax it??

 

i wanna say its somthine like a month or so, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that you're not supposed to wax unbaked paint for a sorta long time.

 

Even over rattle can paint?? Makes me want to hide it in the closet just to keep the critters off it!

 

Ok so no wax ( yep the SEARCH works ) So anyone know what I CAN do to protect paint some for the next 90 days??

 

Just put your car in the closet for a few months...


Did you get your box of junk yet??...

 

48 hours, wax is not the best way. Clear coat, can or gun. Then 24 hours.

 

Yes, thank you, and the new headlight switch will have a new home tommrow afternoon.

 

Well I did use 3 coats of Clearcoat.

I guess I should have given more specifics. Sanded ALL old paint off w-200g, then used 400 for smoothing, first 3 coats were with a paint for plastics. Not so good results, but it did lead to even more sanding. Then 2 coats of Dupli-color auto spray black, sand sand, then a final 4 coats of same paint, then 3 coats of clear coat.

I just want to know if there is anything I can do to further protect it.

Thanks!!

 

30 Days.........

 

wrap it in plastic and put iton your car, no bugs will get on it then.

seriously just put it on ride!

 

Ok so mabye I'm being **** about this.

Sorry!
