curing time

[antirice]

how long should I leave the car in the garage to cure? keep in mind that this car is my only transportation, oh and BTW, I'm buying paint and primer this week

are we talking bondo? paint? or primer?

Bondo should dry in a matter of like 2-3 hours, correct? primer should be another couple, and paint like overnight??

depending on temp and how much hardner you have used I would let it cure over night. primer ... matter of hours and paint... well it should be dry to the touch in about 2 to 3 hours but i would not handle it for about 5 to 6 hot sunny days. Thats for compleat repaints but for small touch ups should be ok in about 2 days but dont wash for 1 week
