Correction. He's going to wait until the person who has painted his car informs him of the curing time. When I paint my car, I use a combination of products that cure within a week. There are all kinds of combination that will yield different curing times. Only the painter knows how much time is required. That's why only the painter should tell you the curing time.



I just did my front fascia again to get rid of the rock chips. Curing time? 5 days.



I was told by a "body shop expert" that that needs to be done. I'm not sure they said its procedure. I always thought the paint is not supposed to even be washed or waxed for a period of time, but the painter says otherwise.

I have always been told to buff the paint every 3 months or so.

I figured that if the paint was perfect and I put a clear bra or xpel over it then it would be protected but i am worried about clear bra hazing and damaging the paint more than helping.

I spoke to the painter and he said curing time is in between 1-2 weeks. He said it can sit in a garage all that time and does not need to be in the sun.
