clear bra and fresh paint?

cvc 22349a · 10-31-2011, 12:06 PM

Getting the hood of my car repainted this week.
Body shop wants to reinstall the clear bra on the hood after it's painted.
Should I wait to let the paint cure or does it not matter?

I was in the same situation and was told it does not matter. if I had it my way, I would've waited to get the clear bra re-applied though.

WAITTTT

if you put it on too soon, it could cross link and if you ever take it off, your chances of taking off paint with it will go up a lot! I'd wait a couple of months

Thanks! I will wait.
