Body shops use ultraviolet lights all the time to cure paint and primers. As far as the heat...if you walk in a paint booth right as the heat cycle goes off the paint will still be soft...but when the cool air hits it the paint hardens up. So if you let them bake in the sun for a while and then place them in front of the fan it should help. [Reply]   [No Email]
