New paint!!

[FirehawkNS]

Just got my car back from the body shop where they had to repaint some shotty paint job they put on the bumper last year. Question is how long do I need to wait to Zaino that bad boy?

You can Zaino immediately. Zaino polishes don't suffocate fresh paint like waxes do. Today was pretty warm man, tomorrow looks promising too :cool: Do it then ;)

I might just do that!!! Give me something to do to enjoy this nice warm day. Now if you didn't have to mix it that would be great!!

stock paint is good as soon as you pick it up.

after a repaint - with zaino it is recommended that you wait 7-10 days, normal waxes you should wait up to a month for the paint to cure.

that being said, i zainoed the vette right after picking it up from the body shop after getting the door repaired and repainted. never had a problem although i don't know the long term effects if any.

Here's a simple suggestion...ask the person that painted it. Until you know the exact process they used and their recommendation, you are skating on thin ice. Most people wait about 3 months before hitting it with anything...

The problem with that is most painters have never heard of Zaino and will treat it like any other wax. I also Zainoed the day I got my car back, no problems here :D
Zaino lets new paint 'breathe' unlike waxes, this is the first time I've ever heard you should wait prior to Z'in.
