Default Faster Way To Cure Paint...

A lot of you are aware of the Scion Superhighway (http://www.scion.com/superhighway/)
event happening in So.Cal and how it's a cruise from Dodger Stadium to Santa Barbara.

Well the thing is, this event is something I absolutely do not want to miss...
but the problem is that my new aftermarket front end and my friends new secret
lip kit is being painted this weekend and done by early next week.

We're afraid of ruining our new paint since they aren;t going to be fully cured.

I was wondering if there are any tips and/or ways to speed up the process.



Thanks.

lol i told you.

Add heat + Remove moisture.

Get a portable heater fan and point it at the paint. It'll make the drying faster.

when i got my car painted it was cured in 60mins...because they had a car oven that baked the paint (or w/e the termanology is) at like 150degrees(i think)

It depends on how much hardener was put in the clear. I once had to paint a hood of a jeep and have it wet sanded buffed and polished in 3 hrs. I put almost twice the amount of hardener as needed, I turned the heat up to 120, and put a dehumidifier in the room. I wet sanded it as careful as i could and buffed it at a low speed.

The mixing ratio for the paint i used was 3 - 1 - 1 - 1
I put 3 - 1 - 1.8 - 1 = 1.8 being the hardener.
