That paint is pretty fresh. Yes, the tape will leave marks on the clear.

did you get it painted in a shop with a spray booth? If the paint was baked then it would be safe to put the painters tape.

Tape left on 2 day fresh paint for 3 days will leave marks on the clear. The marks will buff out most likely. If you consider that safe, thats your opinion. You can't really assume you know how long, and if they baked it, and at what temp, with what type of clear hardener.
