question about fresh paint/rain/cold weather, ect.

[ruffriderGA]

I just picked my car up thursday night from finishline, had the entire car sprayed custom green color.

so when i picked my car up thursday it was freezing outside and raining, the car was outside but i'm sure they let it dry good before they put it outside.

it rained on it friday, and it's been cold ever since

now it's sunday, and its still been cold and its about to be wet again :(

my question is though since my car really hasnt seen a hot day since it's been painted, is it going to hurt the life of my paint because it hasnt "baked" or hardnened?

I've been driving it daily since i picked it up, and the paint still "feels" soft.

and when can i start washing and waxing the car? just kind of nervous because i've never had one painted before and i'm worried im going to mess it up

I'm no paint guy, but the car should have been baked in the paint booth already. Cold and rain should not hurt it. You should wait at least 30-45 days to wax, so the paint can fully cure. That's why it feels "soft".
