im assuming you spray bombed them?? if so i would wait atleast 2-3 days to give the paint time to harden a little especially if you have cold weather in your area right now.

also make sure you talk to the guy mounting them and let him know the deal, maybe even throw him a 5 spot and ask him to be extra careful with them since spray paint tends to chip easy depending on how you prepped and painted them.

im going to use the method that is stickied at the top of this section.

i was also thinking of just getting them mounted and painting them afterwards.
