DON'T DO IT!!!!!

 

car covers WRECK the paintwork. I've had several and ended up having to get some of the car resprayed as it gently rubs on the edges and takes the paint off, no mater what kind you get or how soft the underneath seems.

 

Your car will stand a much better chance against the elements.

 

Speaking from experience.

oh can you pm me your email addy again please i need to send you that pic of the indicators, im not sure they are what your after

 

cheers Craig

dooonttt covverrrr ittt. the paint needs to breath for two or three months, then you should take the car back for a light sanding then polish and mopping. Then you will be ok with the covers.

Cheers for all the advice guys, Im not going to cover her now, Just going to give her plenty of polish and a good waxoyl undernieth as she will not be going anywhere over the winter months.

heyy dont polish too early as well, the paint underneath the top layer could still be wettttt

How long does it take for fresh paint to fully dry??? Its been 2 weeks since it was sprayed

nah takes a long time, although the top layer may be dry, underneath is still wet. it takes 2 or three months. the respray guys should have told you this. the top layer is not too important actually, just keep it clean. once the layers underneath have dried then the top layer should be sanded of with a fine sandpaper.
