The 2 step process at a shop takes about 5-10 mins per coat and about 45mins bake cycle at 160c. Even then though after the paint is dry you can still feel its soft. So normally we tell people not to wash their car for 24hrs. But if you paint it in a shop thats 0degrees then I would guess the flashoff time wasnt enough so....maybe give it a couple days. Easy trick is to take a piece of paper and put it over a area that can't be seen like undernear the sideskirt or under the bumper and write something on the paper. Then remove paper and see if you see what you wrote. If it bleed through you know your paint/clear is too soft still. hope that helps
    Yea thats my best bet just want be sure of it and give it a few days better safe then sorry. And I was thinking of something like that ill definitely try your paper technique, thanks a lot mate appreciate the reach out.
