I painted my canopies today with Pactra Racing Finishes. How long should I wait to clear coat them?

You should not wait, because Pactra Racing Finish paints are very weak. They can not handle to much abuse. The scratches easily, and it's not that fuel proof.


Thanx!

You dont think I should at least wait 24 hours to let the paint cure?

You can wait the 24 hours. Then put your clear coat on it.

Yeah, the question was mainly, how long do I let it cure (24 hours or 1 week?) not, should I fly with it, etc before clear coating. I just dont want to do it too early and then jack up the paint job like I have heard happening before. Once you put on the clear I guess that the paint cant breath and it could wrinkle.

Matt,
I use the same paint sometimes and I let let it sit for 24 hours, then I shot the clear. I've actually shot that paint and waited only 2 hours before shooting the clear.


Thanx!
