optimal painting temp is 70-75. the reason it is taking so long to dry is becouse its so cold. if you were to stay in the 30*range it would literally take weeks to dry.

I bought some of that Rayflex paint before, worked out pretty good. I like how they give you dust masks with the paint, like thats supposed to protect you. Ha! :P

How long does that stuff last? I wouldn't mind painting my own car but don't know what's good and bad.

I didn't paint the car outside. :P I had my garage at 75* when I was spraying, and left it sit in there for a week. It really didn't start to harden up until I brought it outside which at the time was in the low 70's...today's high is supposed to be 28*.
