Foliatec Question?? Need help.
I got halfway through painting the calipers and need to finish the 2nd coat tomorrow. I mixed the whole thing at one time. If the can is tightly capped will it keep for tomorrow? Or will the hardener turn the whole can into a solid mass? :confused:
Please tell me it's ok.

I second the comment that if you mix the whole batch up at one time, you had better use it. Waiting even overnight can be a disappointing surprise as the paint will have hardened to the point where it cannot be used on the calipers.
If you can put the second coat on within a couple of hours, you should be OK. That is what I did and the calipers turned out great.
