I just received my new Mercian yesterday. I posted my experience with the order including all costs, turn around time, etc. on the I-BOB list at:

I was wondering if I should wax the fresh enamel paint before I build it up. Should the paint "cure" for any amount of time before waxing? Again, it is oven baked enamel so I would think it would be pretty well set. Would appreciate any feedback...THANKS!
