How long to let enamel cure before assembling after repaint?
Original Message   Nov 27, 2011 9:13 pm
I finished the last coat of paint today.  The can says 7 days to fully cure.  Should I wait until then to assemble my Sno-Thro?  Used Rust-Oleum Enamel.

Thanks, Carlb.  Yes, I used Rust-Oleum Engine Enamel.  I do have some 2000 grit wet/dry paper.

I've been using denatured alcohol as a prep to remove oils and sanding residue...can this be an alternate for paint thinner?
