Guest trevor ward Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 this is directed at, i guess, paint and body people but any input welcomed! as my '64 le sabre resto is nearing completion and is wearing a lovely fresh coat of paint, what are your thoughts on putting on a good quality car cover i.e. how long should i wait so as not to suffer any problems due to condensation/damp conditions etc as our winters can be a bit MAD and the car has to live outdoors!!!...THANKS WARDY..

Guest Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 wardy ~ I once had a custom car cover made of awning material with a soft nap inner surface. Expensive! But, it never hurt the surface and withstood all kinds of weather, and best of all it breathed. However I can give no advice on how long you should wait before putting something like that over a fresh paint job. ~ hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Wardy,<BR>If you want to REALLY protect your car from cold harsh winters take a look at <BR> <A HREF="http://www.carcapsule.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.carcapsule.com</A> <P>They make capsules that keep you car dry and protected. This is the only type of cover I would think of.<P>BTW to answer your question, you should always wait about a month for the paint to harden and fully dry.<P>Now If I could spell and / or type, I wouldn't have to edit my posts.<p>[ 09-10-2001: Message edited by: Bill Stoneberg ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
