Can a car be exposed to rain 12 hours after touch-up painting? A car can be exposed to rain immediately after touch-up painting is completed. This is because after automotive painting, the paint is baked at moderate high temperatures to dry. Here are some precautions regarding automotive touch-up painting: 1. Primer: The substrate must be completely dry before applying clear coat, otherwise loss of gloss may occur. 2. Base coat: Single-component base coat must be used for quick repairs. 3. Clear coat: The spraying pressure should not be too high (2-2.5KPa), with 1-2 minutes standing time between coats depending on ambient temperature - lower temperatures require longer standing times while higher temperatures require shorter intervals. The spraying thickness should be 1.5-2 coats and not too thick, otherwise drying will be difficult. After clear coat application, it must stand for 5 minutes before baking.
