Ah yeah, more 'dark' stuff going on I'll bet :lol:

Rain is fine (not large hailstones though), just don't wash it if it gets dirty. It will take a few weeks for the paint to 'air' so-to-speak.
For gawds sake don't wax it !
I wouldn't drive it for a while if I was you, I would keep it indoors for at least 2 weeks, just my advice.

(edit) but leave the air get at it and if it's sunny then get it into the sun.

2 to 3 days should be enough to let the laquer go off before waxing.
Washed and waxed mine the day I got it back from paint several years ago, it was oven dried.. no problems since...
My sister just had her '5 painted last week, also waxed now.

Nice job PJ, was admiring the pics of your car on the Galway run. The front-on pic seems "off balance" because of the three vents, is a vented driver side pop-up headlight possible?

Maybe its just my OCD about things being symmetrical :roll:

yup, its possible.. would it not be kinda "non-functional meh" tho' then as the air intake is behind the passenger side headlight?
I prefer it as it is myself.

Have to say, did consider putting in the extra vented light cover, but decided against it in the end. Have to say...............................................

Looks mad cool as it is :lol:

Self praise is no praise.........................except this time :lol:
