grill painting question..
Ok so after having the can of spray paint sitting around for a few weeks, I finnally decided to paint the grill. Everything is all preped and ready to go, but my question is how important is it for me to paint it during the day and let it dry in the sun? Could I just paint it tonight and let it get sun light tomorrow?

Do the instructions say to let the paint dry in the sun? Seems counter-intuitive but what do I know?! I would think you'd want to let it dry indoors with little moving air so that no dust or other particles get on the tacky surface while it's drying.

I painted mine outside the first time and there was dust stuck to it. I moved it to a little indoor booth I fabricated. Just make sure there is not too much humidity. Your average 65-75 degree day should be fine. The paint will continue to cure for a while when the grille is one the car.
