    Colour coded my bumpers today (2K), paint is touch dry 3 hours later, but how long would you leave it before refitting to van.
    Also i tend to mix my paint quite thin to get a nice finish straight from the gun but have 1 little sag on the front bumper,how long would you recommend leaving before flatting the sag ?

    As long as you have at least 15C in your shop overnight would be the best choice.If you have an infrared heat lamp put it on the sag for 20 mins,let cool then sand and polish.
