Stripes , wait time before masking


Recommended Posts

i will usually use my dehydrator when doing two tones to speed up dry time, i also use lacquer paints. i have done a few 'quick' two tones in a few hours with good results. if in no hurry, i'd say let it 'cure' for a few days to a week. if in a hurry, get a dehydrator, then you can be striping/painting the next day. i will usually put it in overnight at 105 degrees, turn it off when i leave for work, then mask/paint when i get home.

I also use this method with enamels without any problems
