Re: paint - oh my!



According to PPG and Akzo Nobel (Sikkens) about 8-10 weeks curing time before 
waxing.  Now as for the orange peel, that's actually recommended.  A small 
amount of orange peel helps the paint resist chipping from small impacts 
(i.e. stones, doors).  Newer cars come from the factory with a small amount 
of orange peel.  Take a look, you'll see it (especially European cars).  If 
you've got orange peel that looks like a relief map of Manuel Noriega's face, 
I'd worry.  If not, it's OK.
