Do you guys plan on leaving them sit for 6-8 once we have them apart and painted? Because I would be okay with that. I think regardless I am going down to atleast meet you all and help out I just dont know if it is my time yet.lol I can bring soda and water  |
my tip is to not cake on the paint, paint enough to cover what needs to be covered and thats it. The more you paint the longer it'll take to dry but light coats to cover your bases you'll be fine. IF you put it back together while its still wet, yes the paint will dry and evaporate to the inner side of your lens and I know exactly what this looks like. It really isn't that bad but you can tell your lens is not 100% clear like it was from factory. If it's a nice sunny day, there won't be an issue with the paint drying quickly. If it's rainy and humid.. I would suggest heat lamp and letting it dry indoor maybe
