[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 304730, member: 7537"] I don't know where you live, but colder temps will affect the cure process on 5200. You can paint right over the 5200 even when wet. Just be warned if you did not get all the leaks you will have to reprep and paint again. If I remember right I used 6 cans of self etching primer, and probably 8 cans of paint. I put two coats of primer....and IMO was way overkill. You only need a light coat of primer if your prep work is good. I think I have 3 coats of paint and because I put the primer on so thick i could use another coat......but what the heck I was not going for a factory finish. If you want that, I suggest you use a spaygun. [/QUOTE]
