The second option without an oven is time......would you have any idea how much time is required for the stuff to out-gas over a period of time....sitting in the sun?


That is a good question. The first time we painted it we shot it in the spring, and it sat on my lift for a month.

Rolled it outside one day, and after 4 hours in the sun had some blisters on the hood! Every spot I fixed with SMC filler had a blister (thank god I took pictures before priming it so I knew where the spots were). So I had to strip all the paint off again, the primer, back down to what it was previously to re shoot it with paint.

Before doing that, we rolled it into the booth and baked it. Few more blisters came out. Then we rolled it out, sanded, etc, baked again, sanded, sprayed.

I don't know how to answer the question, but given the opportunity, I'd leave the sanded and SMC repaired car out in the sun for a few days and hope it fully fully fully cures.


What a nightmare the process was.
