We bake the paint at the shop I work at, we use a hand glaze before delivery of the vehicle and tell the customers that it can be waxed right away. I waxed my custom show car we built the next day and it was fine.

TC,
The best info you can get is what your body man tells you.
Each paint manufacture says something a little different.
I shared some of my experiences ... some paint was baked and some not.
I have recently had painting done at two different body shops and one uses PPG and they bake it and he says wait 60 days the other shop uses another brand and bakes it ... he says wax it as soon as you want.
It is tough to decide but if you do what the body person tells you to then at least if something goes wrong you might get some help with the situation.
Good Luck and your car looks awesome!

I usually only shoot dupont, on the rare occasion i do bake it, its usually around 130 degrees, give or take, P.S. dont leave any choclate bars in the glove compartment, lol

Thanks :cool

My body man said to wait 90 days... I have learned a thing or two here already and I am going to visit him next week and get some more details of why he is saying 90 days.. But you are sure right about the "if something goes wrong you might get some help with the situation."

That is what scares me the most...
