Give it a couple months before the clear bra or it will kill the fresh paint. The paint needs to "breathe" for a few weeks before putting anything over it. Any good painter or body shop will tell you the same thing. I would hold off on the runs or stay back from the other cars. The paint is too soft and will surely take a beating. RICH

Good call Richie, I forgot to mention that the paint needs to cure for 30 days I was told That's what I waited
Hey it was good to meet you today Shalen! Your ride looked and sounded great! Hopefully it won't take too much of a beating if you go on that run. If you go just try to hang back so your nice new paint doesn't get sand blasted

It was nice to put a face to the guy who has helped me couple times already.Thanks
Leave alot of room in front of you and the next car and you should be fine - just dont follow a Z06 or Viper... those wide tires kick up so many rocks.

Hey Shalen, definitely don't follow Mike! Ask me how I know!! Like some of the others said, keep a good distance behind the guy in front of you, and you should be fine.
