Because the paint doesn't dry until the water evaporates, waterborne paint tends to require longer drying times than solvent paints. To speed the process, Ferre recommended we warm the part with an infrared heat lamp for 15 minutes prior to spraying. We couldn't find our heater anywhere, so we skipped this step but did have a fan ready to blow across the panel once we were done spraying. You can see why it would probably be better to spray waterborne paints in a paint booth, especially if you were doing an entire car. Our shop isn't very clean, and we'd be blowing all kinds of junk onto our freshly painted car. View Related Article
