    Hi all,

    I'm planning to remove a rocker panel on my F430 to fix a crack underneath and repaint it. My question is, how soon is too soon to add the clear bra material back on?

    Thanks in advance!

    If you can, I’d say wait a month to let the paint fully gas out.

    My dealer repainted my 360 Spider front bumper to repair stone chips. They then had Expel Ultimate installed after 5 days. That was late 2017 and I have had no issues at all

    Have you had to pull off the ppf for any reason? The concern is when/if you have to replace the ppf. We had a 458 that had a bumper resprayed and then ppf applied too soon. When we removed the ppf to replace it, paint was removed. The area was small but it had to be painted and blended before reapplying.
