okay, so i am painting my new track bar and coils, i roughed em up with some sandpaper, primed them and then hit them with red rust oleum protective enamel(paint) the question i have is why does it take so long to dry, like hours after is sprayed them, it was still really sticky, is this normal with this paint?

CrawlinPepper

Yep, takes a long time to dry. You are looking at around 4-5 days without clear and a week with clear.

okay, can i spray it on pretty thick, or do i need to wait a few days, then do another coat

CrawlinPepper

It says to coat within an hour or what 24 hrs I believe. If I could do it again I would recoat once a day for a couple of days, clear a couple of days, then let them sit for a week before install. But you need to have spares in order to do that if you dd yours like me.

yeah, mine's a dd as well, i have rc lower x flex arms, and control arm drop brackets coming on monday, i plan on putting them in on wed or thurs, i want to paint them red too, is there any decent paint that i could use

CrawlinPepper

Powder coating is good option but just about any spray paint is going to need curing time (that I know of).
