How long between paint and applying caliper stickers?

[javadude]

OK opinions please - how long to leave the hammerite smooth to dry before applying the caliper stickers and clear coat?

1. The 1-3 hrs between coats drying time of the hammerite?

2. The 6 weeks curing time of the hammerite?

3. Or just a day or two so that it's good and dry?

id say about 3-5 hours after application of the final coat of "smoothrite"

i wouldnt use "hammerite"

Thanks, supercharged. I'll leave them that long for the passenger side, I painted the smoothrite on the drivers side ones last night so that'll be a bit longer.

Now the car has a "good side" :D ...although my wife doesn't think so

I must get around to doing mine too... let me know how you get on mate... :tumble:

I painted them on the car (scrub with car wash n water then 2 coats of smoothrite) and they look really good unless you bend down and look close then you can see where I went over the little clips and screws and stuff a bit. Hope the dealers can still get the pads out ok?! :?::(:?:

Have a look at my reply to the painting calipers thread.

Thanks kamlex - I guess it's best if I leave the calipers a few weeks before I apply the stickers then...:(
