Default How long should i wait for clear coat?

Going to get a bumper, lip, grill, and side veiw mirrors painted. How long should i wait for the clear coat to harden?

How much does 3m chip gaurd cost installed on a front bumper and lip?

I would wait a few days to have it dry completely
Also depends on how much the painter sprays on

Yep some clears dry faster than others, depends on hardner speed and all that other stuff, so to be safe i give it a few days, maybe even a week. Unless you painted it ypurself and u know what products you used
