exit, it must be that your in california, and the voc issue, because every car i painted with tremclad, it remained soft (as when you could dent it with your nail) for about 2 weeks, then get really hard, settling in at about 3 months it was rock hard, don't ask me either how i know!!! lets just say when i pulled into my garage with the charger, the 250ft/pd torque wrench and 6 oil filters carefully balanced on the wrench did'nt want to stay put on the top shelf 4 ft above the hood, it got ugly, i don't wanna talk about it i did'nt even look until hours later and there was not a mark, and let me tell you it hit HARD.

But the same is true with regular auto paint, thats why they even tell you not to wash your car for at least 2 weeks. I've sprayed over 10 cars (with traditional auto paints, both BC/CC and single stage) and they too remained "soft" for over a month, allthough the BC/CC seemed to reach it's total hardness after about 3 weeks to a month.
