Summary of the steps:
1- Preparation of the bodywork: sanding with 800, degreasing and dusting

2- Application of the aluminum base by thin passes. Continue until the old paint is completely covered.

3- Clean the surface with dishwashing liquid and sand thoroughly with a green abrasive sponge

4- Spray quickly the crystalizer over the entire surface, in one go, to obtain a thick coat. Drain immediately and put in warm and dry atmosphere.

5. Apply a few ultra thin passes of black base

6- In the next 2 minutes, wipe gently with a soft and worn abrasive sponge to reveal the crystals.

7- After drying, applying the Candy clearcoat in 2 to 5 passes, with a 5 minutes interval between each.

Question:

What is the waiting time between the crystal appearance phase and the black paint layer application phase, should we wait 24 hours?

Answer:

You just have to wait until the crystallization is complete. This can take 2 minutes at 35°, or 15 minutes at 20°. It is not necessary to wait longer. It is possible to move on to the next step after 24 hours, however, the crystallized surface must be well protected from humidity, by keeping the crystallized support in a perfectly dry environment, otherwise the crystals "melt".
