    Not really necessary tbh. Won't do any harm I suppose but putting it over the radiator over night or something will probably do a better job curing it and save fuel. I'd vote for taking it out for a quick early morning blast over both of these but either way it will be pretty dry in 18hrs it's only vht..

    I've found it depends on the paint. Some shitty paint loves to never dry unless it's been heated up so it's best to give it a good blow with a hot air gun otherwise you will just fuck the paint up fitting it.
