Had my car painted at the end of last summer. We didn't bake it so no to tempt micro blistering, but waited for the paint to harden over time. now its just been flatted and i really do like the flat look
And just had to try a small area to see what it will look like when finished

If you don't bake it does that stop the micro blistering ?

If you bake a fibreglass car as a metal car you will have problems. I think its far better to leave the paint for a long period to harden with out force drying.

Hi steve car looks nice, did you paint your door handles body colour? It's something I was looking at as I hate the faded grey plastic.
I feel sorry for your rc buggy thrown to the side in the background, shame on you smile
