Default ZFX application help

Been away from the forum several months and find that the ZFX is now available and sounds very impressive & exciting. I have a few questions and need your help-

With the ZFX mix, now I can apply Z2 or Z5 in any temperature and have it dry quickly? What is the drying say at around 50 degree F, outside?

I only have 1 coat of Z2 on because it took a long time to dry. And especially during this winter season is impossible. It'll be awsome if the ZFX can drastically cut down drying time in this temperature.

Thanks in advance.

I did 3 coats of Z2 w/ ZFX when it was 42F in my garage. I let it dry in 20 mins and it was fine. You need to use it very thin. I was able to do 3 coats on my Z06 and 3 more on my 540 with 1oz back in Dec. Last week I did 3 coats on my brothers X5 and 2 more on my Z06 with 1oz.

In humid conditions you have to apply Zaino very thin, I can get Z-2 or Z-5 to dry while it's raining out in 10-15 minutes, with ZFX it will dry at least that fast or faster, I can usually start removing ZFX when I finish the last panel on the Vette.

I have applied ZFX in lower than 45 before...same as above...no problem drying. To be sure, do the finger wipe trick...if it wipes away greasy...wait...if not. BUFF AWAY. I think you'll find it dries nicely. :p:
