when you get ya car painted, its primered and sanded and paint is applied, how long will it be before teh car is ready to be driven again?
only reason i ask is cuz this paintshop has had my car since last wensday and they just now primered and sanded it today and said it will be painted first thing in the mornin

honest answer, how much longer am i lookin at?

yeah...after they finish they will have to wetsand out the runs and depending on how good they are/what you paid they will wetsand out orangepeel and trash then rubbing compund, polish, wax and you will be good to go.

well you really need to ask what all they will do after paint. Cause wetsanding the clear can take a while. If they are actually going to paint it tomorrow morning...they could probably start wet sanding later that afternoon and possibly have it finished that night but i doubt it. You'd probably be looking at getting it back friday evening or saturday depending on how much wetsanding they are doing and if they are working on other cars at the same time. Did you ask them when it would be done? Also it depends on what they took off...like if they are painted jams then the doors have to go back on and aligned...

well alot of cars were infront of mine, and they have a specific person doin my paint, when i go up there i will ask what they will do after paint, i've seen the cars they do, and they never have runs or orange peel in them, so im guessin they wetsand it, i have the invoice for my paint at my apartment, i'll check yo see what it says
i know on there it says they hand sand it then somethin else, then bake it in some special thing to have the gloss paint look

considering the weather has became much warmer....if they paint it in the morning...it will be dried over nite.....but just for the finishing touches....it would be another 2 days......putting stuff back and washing it.....but paint usually dried enuff to the touch over nite....but not ready for buffing

they are force drying it, not air drying

well, its a lil expensive because of the colors im picking and the type of paintjob it will be
the urethane paint job package i picked with the warranty is only 600.00
