How long has it been since they sprayed it. I would at least wait 2 to 3 days. Put it out in the sun. this will hardend the paint faster. Just be carefull and you should be ok. But I would at least wait 2-3 days.

good luck

post some pics.

I usually do pin stripping a few days after spraying the paint. you should be ok to go ahead and add them. Just dont wear any rings, or watches. Also be carefull with belt buckles, and even just the button on your jeans.

This may sound stupid, but I have seen new paint scratched so bad it would make you sick, by just a belt buckle.

good luck.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

I will get on that I think you would apreciate what i have done i have done. it was a 92 with purple haze now it has an 87 iroc front end and hood. I got it painted purple again just a little darker with more metallic I have also painted the hood louvers and my front grill in the paint that changes from green to purple and now i will put silver racing stripes down the whole car. next will come the tint on the side windows and lowering springs then i will polish my wheels and it will be perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are bad ***, I really like the white stripes on the dark blue paint, really stands out. I'm gonna do the same with metallic silver stripes, on my teal paint job hope it works out as good as yours does.

Thanks for the coments, I though of alot different combanations, before I went with the viper blue. Make sure you get a bright silver for the teal, stay away from anything that looks grey.

Post some pics when you get done.
