Re: painting my 92 talon at school (dunwoody)
do you have to bake the paint? or can it cure on its own? never understood the process of painting complete. or i should say never researched full step by step painting process...
But either way the car is going to look sweet!

Re: painting my 92 talon at school (dunwoody)
you can get by just fine with just spraying it and letting it cure on its own.

Re: painting my 92 talon at school (dunwoody)
Let it sit in the sun for a while and the UV's will bake it. When it gets baked in an "oven" it isn't actually heat that bakes the paint, it is UV lights.

Re: painting my 92 talon at school (dunwoody)
I am just letting it sit no heat
I could have baked it at 140f to get it to kick but paint will take up to 6months to fully cure
come monday it will be wet sanded then dry sanded and buff the hell out of it
