I was gathering from charger's posts that the time between the last paint coat and wetsanding would only be about as long as it took the paint to dry. (24 hours?) Then I also remember reading that the paint doesn't fully HARDEN for 2 or 3 months.

I live in Florida so I guess I'm at a disadvantage, eh? I can wait for up to a week before driving, but hopefully no longer.



To drive, you just need to make sure that it is hard enough that bugs and such do not embed themselves easily.

Park that puppy in the Florida sun for a day or two and and I'll bet it will be hard enough to drive with.

If it still worries you, stay below 55mph. In my experience, the amount of bug strikes seem to increase exponentially for every mph faster than 55. Heh. Now, that would be a good research project...

Just give it plenty of time to fully cure before trying to seal it for the reasons mentioned above.
