Hey guys
This is mostly a question for those of you with paint experience. A few days ago i chipped a really big section of paint off my bumper (hit a stick) and took it in to get resprayed. It was resprayed ~ 26 hours ago ... so its been drying about that long. I took it home today in the trunk of my GF's car (paint side down...was the only way it would fit) and it didn't scratch, smear or leave any visible marks. ANways, my question is.. when is a safe time to put the bumper back on and drive freeway speeds ? Also, its snowing and raining here.. if that makes a difference! I would really like to put it on tonight, so please let me know! -------------------- ----- '94 ST hatch --- Yellow ----- |

Its my guess thats its really cold out in that area. I would wait one more day of drying time just to allow it to harden up a bit. You'd probably be ok to put it on now, but the paint might still be a little soft. Also, you know, no waxing the front bumper for at least a month.
