-
Force dry the sprayed surface under the infrared lamps for 60-90 minutes.
-
Keep the drying temperature between 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) and 158 degrees F (70 degrees C).
NOTE: Take care not to let the heat deform the part during the drying process.
16. Polishing and Buffing
-
Let the paint dry gradually, then polish the surface carefully using a polishing compound and sponge buff.
-
To remove lint or dirt, wet sand the surface with #2000 or finer paper first, then polish with compound.
