Clear Bra question....

Has anyone put a clear bra on there car after it was re-painted?? I'm curious if there is a waiting period. I'm sure they are using an oven to cure the paint but do I have to wait a certain amount of time after???

you need to wait 30 days to be safe for the paint to really cure. most of the time when you get your car back from body shop, the paint aren't 100% dried yet.

i waited 30 days

The first car I had Premier clear bra was repainted, and I've since had it replaced several times because of little mishaps. I haven't had any problems yet. I was told to leave a 30 day curing period each time though.
