Its dry before it leaves the paint booth man. Paint drys really fast. You might want to get it checked out by the guy who painted it.

Its a dark color paint job. If its black, from what I can tell fom your siggy, black cars are tough to keep clean....Is it dirt? Or is it really the paint?

Im just asking because you said you washed your car and then 5 hours later it got the dusty look... if thats the case its from just being outside and collecting debris and what not.

Yeah my black car that's been painted for who knows how long gets dusty really quick. I don't have a garage or anything, which probably doesn't help. I'll wash it and it'll have that "dusty" look the very next day, depending on when I wash it... sometimes it'll start looking like that at the end of the day if I wash it early in the morning.
