How long after car painting can it be exposed to sunlight?

Paint typically requires about a week to fully cure, so it should not be exposed to sunlight within this period. Below are relevant details:1. Paint: It is a chemical mixture coating that firmly adheres to the surface of objects, serving purposes such as protection, decoration, marking, and other special applications. Paint generally consists of four components: film-forming substances, fillers (pigments), solvents, and additives. Depending on performance requirements, the composition may vary slightly—for example, varnish lacks pigments, and powder coatings may not contain solvents.2. Impact: During this period, the paint is relatively soft. It must not be exposed to intense sunlight, rain, car washing with water, or driven on roads with high dust levels, as these can affect the newly applied paint surface.
