[1sikgti]

Pickin up my car from paint place in 20min an its pouring an thunder an ish over! Is it a bad idea to bring my car home with fresh paint in this wheather!?

[rainier]

yes might as well leave it until its all dry. depends how long the cars been sitting painted

[psychedelicbeats]

leave it dry. it aint raining today so it's good. better rush it home and store it in garage for at least 2 to 3 weeks if it is a whole car because of the bad weather right now. the paint has to seal in time or else water will creak through and loosen the paint and hardener.

More important is what color you decided on.

I've taken an automotive paint course... As long as they baked the car for a couple of hours it should be okay. Unless the shop is big enough, they'll store your car outside anyways.

Just make sure you DO NOT wax your car, or put it under a cover for AT LEAST three months. That will allow the paint to "cure", and completly "dry".

[psychedelicbeats]

cure! that's the word. if the car's been baked with single stage paint, it gets kinda skeptical to say that it's "okay". single stage paint sucks lol...

yeah, if TREE falls on it. just go slow and don't follow anybody even remotely close on the highway.

car cover if you dont have a garage.. get the waterproof kind

[Ritz S14]

Do NOT use a carcover on a freshly painted car.

I garage my car 365 days of the year and then my car got kicked out because of construction. Right in the middle of rainy season. Im so bitter
