wtf, if the car was put through a bake cycle in a paint booth, you can wash it with soap and water 10 min. after is comes out of the booth.

 

[bigdanmcintosh]

how many cars actually go through a paint booth?? Only ones that do around here are Maaco and Earl Scheib..

 

[SWITCHCRAFT]

uuuuuuuuh ALL the cars that get painted at a SHOP :biggrin:

 

[SWITCHCRAFT]

DO NOT wash it with dish detergent...........get car wash soap.............

ya, I meant an oven, not a paint booth... lol

 

[skandalouz]

every single job at our shop gets a baking.

 

[bigdanmcintosh]

what are the advantages of a "baked on" finish as opposed to an air dried finish??

 

[skandalouz]

EFFICIENCY, you can reassemble the car as soon as it comes out of the booth. The paint cures quicker and the clear doesn't remain chewy for days. you can wash and polish the car as soon as it leaves the booth. All around better. IMO

 

[skandalouz]

Also with air srying the paint you cannot keep a consistent temp, as there are too many variables to effect it .

how long does it take to fully cure when you bake it??

The bake cycle lasts for about 45 min. and it gets up to 160 degrees, then it cools down to about 90. it takes anywhere from 30 min. to and hour depending on what was sprayed and which products were used. usually no more than an hr. unless its a show cars then were put it through 2 cycles to make sure of no underlying problems like solvent pop, etc.

 

[bigdanmcintosh]

good. I'm bringing my car to you next winter then..

AGAIN I ASKED THE GUY WHAT KIND PAINT PAINT JOB???????????? IF YOU ARE DOING A STOCK COLOR YES YOU CAN BAKE IT AND IT WILL SPEED UP THE DRY PROCESS---------BUT IF YOU ARE USING CATALYST REQUIRED PAINT IT DRYS/ HARDENS BY CHEMICAL REACTION NOT EVAPORATION SO THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU CAN SPEED UP THE PROCESS IS TO USE ACCELARATORS BUT THEN YOU MIGHT UP W/ TOO MUCH ORANGE PEEL---BEST JUST TO LET IT TAKE IT'S COURSE AND NOT RUSH IT.......YOU CAN'T BAKE A CANDY PAINT JOB...................AND WE CAN'T USE LAQUERS HERE IN CALI ANYMORE--------LATES
