    Hi I have F355 thats in paint shop now all complete front will get new paint as old paint was not good match (car had respray before due to stone chips). My car is Blu Pozzi color + side panels will also get new paint.

    so when can the car get PPF? I consider PPF front + side panels + mirrors + targa roof.

    I hear a lot say need wait 1 month, but Ferrari do PPF on complete new painted cars, how is this different?

    At least 30 days. I’d ask the painter to be sure. The new two part paints dry fairly quickly because they are a base coat and a hardener that are mixed together.

    The local hi end paint shop has a brochure for taking care of newly applied paint work. It says 3 months.

    I was told the same. That is at ambient temp also . If you were letting the car sit over winter in an unheated garage....add another 30-45 days to be safe
