Posted by ajna_star, Aug-03-03 03:50 AM


i painted mine about a week ago, they have been sitting and drying for atleast 2 or 3 days. BUT my car still smells like spraypaint.

how long till the spraypaint smell goes away?

i just used allot of air freshenor till it went away... i'm not too sure how long it took but spray some frebreez and buy one or two of those gell air fresheners and a spray air freshener... the frebreez should help get the smell out faster...

on a side note, when i touch up my carpet w/spray paint i don't take it out of the car, and the spray paint smell only lasts a day or two, drive with the windows down allot and it should air out faster

lol, i sprayed my dash INSIDE the car so you can imagine how long it lingered. it should go away pretty soon. leave you windows down some if you can at night. but leave them down as much as possible to air it out.

i also painted my dash inside the car... it'd be way too much of a PITA to take it out IMO

besides... after a while, your nose will just burn those olfacotry nerves or whatever out and you won't notice it at all. You'll just get accustomed to it before too long and then one day you'll notice, "hey! I don't smell paint anymore! (I can't smell my dinner either, but I can't smell that paint! WOOT!" :P
