How long between colour and lacquer? - Kezzieboy - 04-01-2012 So, basically I'm refurbing my steelies, and want to get them done today ideally, sowhat is the minimum advised wait between colour coat and lacquer? If it helps its metallic paint, and I don't care about flatting it back, they're just winter wheels! Cheers 'en Re: How long between colour and lacquer? - Chris - 04-01-2012 A day tbh mate. Re: How long between colour and lacquer? - Flynn - 04-01-2012 That is contrary to what I have read. I made a similar thread back in .net days and I was advised to wait 30 minutes until the colour coat was dry but 'tacky' and then begin with the lacquer coats. The reason that was given was so that the lacquer would bind with the colour coat. This was said to stop the lacquer from peeling off. Re: How long between colour and lacquer? - THE_Liam - 04-01-2012 I'd wait a day mate, and put the wheels near a radiator. They'll dry and harden faster, and there'll be less moisture in the air to get into the paint Re: How long between colour and lacquer? - spawn - 04-01-2012 Whenever i paint anything i wait about an hour and i use a heat gun. Re: How long between colour and lacquer? - Kezzieboy - 04-01-2012 Well I didn't have time for all this shit, so just went ahead and sprayed 'em after like 20 mins or so, we'll see how it turns out. They're now in a nice warm room hardening, and stinking the house out lol.

They battered the rims when they fitted them though, considering running a hammerite pinstripe around the edge, but can decide whether to just go black, or add some colour, hmmmm Re: How long between colour and lacquer? - spawn - 07-01-2012 Yeah i would have painted them after the tyres were fitted.
