Paint cure time, clear coat ?

I am getting ready to paint my car with PPG Acrylic Urethane paint.

I will be spraying a clear coat over this also.


Does the acrylic paint need to cure before the clear is sprayed? If so, who long?

Yea i'm in the process of painting mine and you should've got tech sheets for all primer, sealer, paint, and clear. If not i would try to pic them up they are very useful. They tell you the pot life and recommended time between cotes as well as recommended cure time.

Well, I bought the paint at a shop that quit carring the line, so they did not have any info, tech sheets on the paint.

I am not doing the painting, just trying to figure out all this before it gets done.

i could of gotten the sheets for you but did not know exactly which product line you had. i used omni so i had the link.


make sure you have a respirator for that stuff when you spray it.
