The formula resists corrosion, rust, salt spray and common automotive chemicals and degreasers, and it develops its full performance after proper curing by engine heat or an oven bake at moderate temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly does this paint dry and when is it ready for use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aerosol dries to the touch in about 30 minutes and reaches handling strength overnight under typical ambient conditions. However, the coating achieves its maximum durability and chemical resistance only after proper curing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTouch dry: ~30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandling\/overnight set: typically by next day\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull cure: occurs with normal engine operating temperatures or heat to 200°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow can instructions for best results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this paint withstand engine heat and automotive fluids?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Engine Metallic formula is engineered for intermittent temperatures up to 650°F (343°C) and resists gasoline additives, oils and many shop chemicals.
