Do not apply in direct sunlight. Ensure your working area is clean and free of dust. Mask off surrounding areas to protect them from overspray. Paint Application Timing Guidelines Wait 15–30 minutes between coats to allow proper drying. After applying the Colorcoat, let it dry for at least 30 minutes before applying Clearcoat. Do not wait more than 24 hours to apply Clearcoat—delaying too long can cause peeling or wrinkling. Wait 24–48 hours after painting before washing or polishing to allow the paint to cure fully.
