Basically noticed today that the spray job on my spoiler is not fully hardened. It's very slightly tacky and will grip any cloth or even my finger nail when running across it.

Paint hasn't been baked long enough to cure it, it will need to come off and be re done, I don't think it can be re-baked but may be wrong. |

This always happens to me. I've asked around and it seems that the new water based paints have this particularity. It will cure by itself on a couple of days. The theory says that as long as the paint doesn't stick on things, first stage is done and it's cured enough. The second stage will be done in several days, up to "rock solid".

^^ as above. My trusted Bodyshop expert (albeit a Vauxhall one) told me much the same. Sometimes you have to detest Brussels for meddling with good old CFC unfriendly lacquer....it did the job properly for years! Foraging near Gaydon....

Its 33 degrees C outside today, leave the car in the sun and it will do a free bake for you |

Unfortunately it's marked already and chipped in one place with 3 very small areas where it has reacted now?! Today was worse, with it being warm the paint was super soft, obviously all my panels were super hard along with sprayed plastic trim. It was sprayed/finished and fitted more than 10 days ago.
