0 Green Machine Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Ask the painter what was used and what are the manufacturers recommendations! That I think is the best approach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 My guy told me 60 days, but there are variables... Mine's black and sits in direct sun daily at work and in the summer, that's a HOT hood. 30 days is probably more than enough. Not sure what color you have or where you live, but going with what the painter says is always a safe bet. Most say 60-90 days. I think I'll go 30 or so. Chris getting rid of the car in a year anyway... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mjhpadi Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 When my car was repainted they suggested no wax for at least 30 days to let the paint out gas and to cure. I think that 45 days is probably enough but I believe I would do whatever the painter recommends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
