OK the process. Do body work, had small dents up front. Body filler, sand , prime, paint, let flash,, then wet sand with 2000 grit

The term flash coat in auto painting has to do with the amount of time it takes for the solvents to evaporate before applying another coat of paint. The kind of paint you use, which type of paint job you want and the temperature all affect the duration of a flash coat.

Significance
When painting a car, it is important to know and allow for specific coats of paint to "flash-off," which means allowing the solvents within the paint to evaporate. Paint will not dry correctly if it is not given the recommended flash time.

Effects
If done incorrectly, an unsatisfactory flash-off can cause the paint to lose its shine and/or not dry correctly. When done correctly, a flash coat should give the paint a hazy finish.

Time Frame
A flash coat should, at a minimum, be on for five to 10 minutes. Which kind of paint job you are doing, which type of paint you are using and the temperature will all affect the duration of a flash coat. Also, the more coats that are used increases the length of flash time.


2 coats of clear between flash, then wet sand with 2000 grit, then cut , buff, polish then wax. Most dont know the work involved with doing a great paint job.............. I DO LOL./
