so i assume it would be a bad idea to have it done by friday, then take it to edmonton on saturday?

I would wait a least a week...better safe than sorry.
The main reason is to let the primer cure, so that the final coats really stick to it good.
Let it wait a week. It's not going to get terribly dirty anyways.
Some paints cure really fast... others don't.
i think it will. i mean i'm going to edmonton, so i'm gonna have a tone of bug guts and shit all over my car.
what about using the california car duster?? that's fine right?

i'd be careful of rockchips and what not banana... paint is extremely soft after it has been freshly painted. you might end up more with rock chips(read: large) than you started with.
Dam, car is going to look pretty tight, can't wait

So where are you getting the kit painted?
I think you should get a power polish done too, shine up the ride cause usually you can notice the difference between the body and the kit.

it's better to be safe than sorry... i speak from experience with the rockchips after painting.
paint was worse after being repainted because it chipped so freaking easily.

I just got my car done, 2 month ago, and they told me not to wash my car for about a week or so! And I didn't drive that much for about a month (TO make sure that I wouldn't get a shit load of rock chip).
And you shouldn't polish or wax it for at least a month after painting.
i got mine done for freee!! muahahahah aprops to the NL volks deatailers
