Merv, the worst cases I have seen have been the rush jobs. Ie. new body or newly filled and then painted body.

It's difficult to advise a time frame but usually a body is left to the end of the build process to paint....By that time it is properly cured.

However, by that time panels need filling as they have shrunk and the painter will apply a polyester based filler (bog) which also needs time to fully cure.

cheers
