Just got back from vacation and picked up my Stinger from the paint shop! Going to wait a few more days to allow the paint to cure. The shop recommended 5 days, any other opinions on how long to wait for PPF and ceramic coating after paint?



Wanted to get the holes filled from the front license plate bracket, cursed dealer! So I had the fill in the 3 holes from the KIA badge as well.

Ceramic coating takes about 2-3 weeks to fully cure.

Oh ok! How long should I wait before I have XPEL - PPF and ceramic coating applied. The front bumper was painted on Monday.

Looks really nice debadged [MENTION=713]Triumvph[/MENTION]

Most PPF installers will tell you to give fresh paint a couple of weeks to dry. I had the rear bumper repainted on my Audi and the PPF shop wouldn't do the install because they said the film can literally pull off fresh paint.

How much did the shop charge to fill in the hole and repaint the area?

There were repairs from the front license plate bracket holes and the KIA badge. The total was $545.30.

Leave it debadged up front [MENTION=713]Triumvph[/MENTION], I think it looks badass like that.
