One of the pains of using this paint, I have found it can vary from as little as 30 minutes to 8 hours. I believe it needs 3 days to fully cure. The paint is a 3 step process (zinc coating, Por-15 undercoating and then top coat). Por-15 has no UV resistance and will fade if not top-coated. Por-15 pulls water from the air to dry hence the variation in dry time.

Been experimenting with using Por-15 as the undercoat but then using a rattlecan primer and rattle can topcoat (haven't quite got that perfected yet). Hoping to maybe paint my rear-end that way to save some time.
