I left my body on the garage roof in the weather for the first five years of the build - it helped a lot to stabilise it and allowed any trapped bubbles in the top layers to show themselves.

It improved the long term life of the paint job once it was done with reduced wrinkling over time - only now after 20 years does it need re-smoothing.
