Does Motor Coater need to be heat cured or will it completely air cure after seven days?

It cures by ambient air. If you want to speed up the cure, you can heat cycle it by placing the painted piece in the sun for an hour, then in the shade for an hour, and repeating. This is not required, but it can accelerate the cure if desired. Only do this after an initial break-in cure period of 12 hours. Be sure to review the Motor Coater Application Directions before beginning your project."}}]} </script><p>No &mdash; <a style="color:#cc0000;text-decoration:none;" href="https://kbs-coatings.com/motor-coater" target="_top"><strong>Motor Coater</strong></a> does not need to be heat cured.
