0 fv1609 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Paul. So presumably its not chucking it down now. Does it look alright or are there lighter blotches? If there were no blotches it was pretty well dry when it rained if there are blotches it wasn't. Another way to end up with light blotches is to leave a banana skin on the paintwork for a few days. I recently discovered this, so I suppose it could be useful if some touch-up paintwork was too dark, then plaster the area with banana skins.

0 Meteor mark 4B Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hmm, interesting this. When I painted the Land Rover a couple of days later it rained. There were large globules of water on the bonnet, and when these went, there were lighter patches on the paintwork. So how long does paint take to dry properly?

0 rapier rob Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I learn't this myself after replacing a wing on the Rapier recently. The answer depends on quite a few things, what paint your using, brushed or sprayed, one coat or two! For those of us with vehicles outside, check your weather forecast and pick a dry warm day for painting............and then pick the dead bugs out once the paint has dried :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 paul connor Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Yes i thought it was a warm weekend ! but alas! forecast is lies! lies! lies! (calm down) I have the faint spots on the wings only, so dashed over another coat today! im sure it will have a sandstorm now! haha Im not going for the factory look, more what the army would have done, so brush and minimal rubdown. Lets hope now i get everything else ready for overlord! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Been my experiece that paint is never dry until after you have touched it and left finger marks on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
