Just got the Z back from a respray...

I think you can use 3m finesse or it might be handglaze ( forgot ) on fresh paint, thats what they used back in the days when I was a bodyshop tea boy as it was not a sealant.

Bringing this thread back. Anyone have experience with paint curing and vinyl wrap?

Exactly what are you asking?

James10694 · 12-04-2015, 12:42 AM

Would the wait time for paint curing be any longer if I vinyl wrapped the front? I was shooting for 30-60 days then I was going to wrap it

The curing time is EXACTLY what the painter said it would be. That is the first and LAST person that you should ask that very question. I use chemicals when I paint that allow my paint to cure in less than 2 weeks. Who knows what your painter used? THE PAINTER. Any exact amount of time that anyone on any forum gives you would be nothing but a guess unless they know exactly what your painter used.

Makes sense I'll have to stop by and ask the body shop. Thanks junkman
