**Lil_lissa** · 06-02-2005, 02:17 PM

how long should i leave it to dry? it says on the bottle, dry to the touch in 30 mins, completely dry in 48 hrs. does this mean i can't drive with it for 48 hrs?? or would it be okay to drive on?

**Lil_lissa** · 06-02-2005, 02:28 PM

Amen

This is something that never made sense to me, why would someone want to draw attention to you rear drums????

"I got drum, I can't stop, don't get infront of me!" :P
I'll paint it silver just to cover up the rust. In fact I painted my calipers silver also.
