Default I would wait 2-3 months if you live in a colder climate...

1-2 in a warmer climate. Give the paint a chance to fully cure before putting the Stonguard on it. If you're not supposed to wax right away, and can't imagine a clear protective condom being any better for the paint.

Default i'm thinking about it, but i don't want to pick up new chips... look bad on silver!

the Stonguard rep said that the painter can bake the paint a little more if they know that your'e going to Stonguard...

Nuttin. I may do something temporary. I have the eyebrow flag to deal with also.
