Paint Curing

(1/2) > >>

Richardgregory:
If I had a choice I don't think I'd use latex paint again....coming from an oil or spray can kinda guy...I'm not convinced on its durability.  I guess It does have its pros but I notice it feels sticky/tacky to the touch.  I take it that it"ll go away after it cures properly in about a month's time (I hope).

So right now I will have to wait before sticking on the side art, unless I can just go ahead before the paint fully cures? 

Actually, if I had to do it again it'll be laminate instead.

mgb:
Yeah, I wouldn't use latex.
If I did use paint (and I'm glad I didn't) I'd use nothing else other than Rustoleum Satin Black Enamel.

yotsuya:
I use Valspar Satin Black Enamel myself. The key is to use enamel.

dkersten:
even a good latex enamel will take 3+ weeks to fully cure.. I used Behr from Home depot and it took nearly 8 weeks to completely cure.  I can spray on oil based enamel and in the sun it will be completely cured in less than a day, in the shop at 70 degrees F all day/night it is fully cured in about 48 hours.  I won't roll/spray latex again.  Once fully cured, latex is VERY durable, but be prepared to wait a LONG time for that to happen. 

DeLuSioNal29:
I usually apply the sideart after a few days of curing.  Never had any issues.
