well after few hours in the cold they are dry enough to move about!
the parts i painted yesterday i am fitting today 24hours latter! paint is still soft!!
in the summer in hotter temprtures paint was drying 3times faster tho i would say! in summer i could go around car painting and by time i had done a coat the first part would be ready for another coat!
today i am having to leave each coat 20mins ish

id say a good 48 hours, and when ur in the house get a mobile heater next to it? im guessing you used paint out of a can? cos if you use paint out of a gun you can put winter activator in with the paint and this makes it go off 10 times faster,

'Mazin  Would've liked to have seen the washer jets smoothed over though. Looks superb other than that, can't wait to see it all together.

Its going to be almost like a twin of mine
Funny thing is that when I was washing it today I was thinking about how it would look good in other colours, Europa BLue was one of the ones that I had in mind
Mark, we'll have to do a bit of a shoot if you want?

Looks good, but I actually thought it would come out darker! Not as keen on it (personally, now I've seen it on an Irmscher corsa) as I used to be, saved me some moneythere Mark!

Maybe so, quite like the Ultra Blue on the Corsa Cs, or MG Trophy Blue. Don't think Trophy is far off Europa is it?

cant beat ford imperial blue for a nice blue purple colour with loads of pearl
