Can the car be exposed to rain after paint repair?

[Spencer]

No. Generally, a car should not be washed or exposed to rain within one week after painting. However, with current rapid repair technology, the car can be washed one hour after leaving the workshop. Here is more information about car painting: 1. Painting at a 4S shop: It takes at least two to three days, and the car can be washed immediately after delivery because it undergoes a formal baking paint process. 2. Painting at a regular repair shop: The car can be retrieved in one day, but it is best not to wash or expose it to rain for at least 24 hours, preferably 48 hours. 3. Impact of rain: The newly painted surface is still soft, and rain can affect its smoothness. If rain prematurely affects the protective layer of the paint, the paint may crack in the future.
