question about paint

[Katpilot36]

Hello all, I had my kat stolen and returned wrecked but I was able to repair and repaint, I used the suzuki factory vigor blue and a chemical resistant clear. My question is: how much time is needed for the paint/clear coat to cure before I can apply a wax for protection. I live in florida and it is about 93 degrees and 70% humidity is it makes a difference. Thanks

I was told 30 days by a pro I trust. I have no idea if humidity makes a difference though. It's definitely cooler in San Diego and less humid.

30 - 90 days. It wouldn't hurt anything by waiting 3 months.

Usually about a month ~

30 days and don't be afraid to let it get rained on.

at least a month....it can get rained on, but dry it off with a towel before the rain dries, water spots can stain new paint (acid rain)

Yea the rain is what I was concerned with, also the love bugs. Thanks for the help.

Love bugs will stain CURED paint, I would definitely clean those off asap!
