Ive got it drying at the moment as i sprayed it today. The lump is covered in clingfilm so no shit gets in the engine, but can i leave it open overnight with out anything getting fudged? will be about 5 degrees apprently, or should i just whack it on tonite? cheers

will be fine left overnight.

Cheers mate. I know its meant to get cold but was a tad worried as its all exposed, even if it is wrapped in film

[Josh_Phipps]

What did you use to spray it is it some of special spray?

[TU-Tuning]

Nope, just grey primer, Rover Gunmetal Metallic, Clear laquer all from halfords. No problems with heat etc, many people have used the same paint ranges on here n ive had the fannymould heat shield sprayed for a week now and theres no issues.

would leve the paint a few days before touching it mate, it will get finger prints inbedded into it if you do it now as the paint will still be soft, i found that out when painting my 1st centre console whilst fitting my fingerprints were all over it lol

Or bake it and it should harden up!

[TU-Tuning]

Hmm ive left it under the radiator downstairs. Can i just bake it in the oven, what settings shal i use?

[woodsy]

just put it on a low heat ... a average radiator in a home is 24 degress so say 40 degress to be on the safe side for a hour or so

Ben, which direction does heat travel???

use a lowish setting as its a crappy plastic. stick it at less than 100 do for 10mins, but keep and eye on it.

Cheers pred, just thought the settings might be different for metal, better conductor, paint might crack as in not sure how hot they get when bolted to the lump
