Default Anyone know which type of paint Anchor uses? PPG or Dupont?

I'm looking to get a clear bra put on the front end after Anchor is done with it. New bumpers and repainted hood and fenders, I'd like to protect it this time around from looking like swiss cheese after a few years.

I've been in contact with Jeff at Wheel Dynamix on doing a clear bra and he brought it to my attention that cure time is important before putting on the clear bra.

Now how to protect that exposed front end while the paint is curing =P

Default Perhaps blue painter's tape or just let the freshly painted ride sit for a week and drive...

something else.

BTW, I am 500 miles away from 90K. How close are you to 100K?

Default Yeah, thinking of painters tape...will see how that fares on new paint. Wish I had

another car to drive around for a week. According to Wheel Dynamic, Dupont requires a minimum of 3 days while PPG can be up to 30 days =/

I've been slowing down slightly on the mileage since I can work from home one day a week now. I'm at 96,000 right now so 4k to go. Still should be at 100k by beginning/mid-September.

Default I have gone through this battle before... Apparently putting on Painters tape is just as bad as

putting on a clear bra

Default D'oh. Guess I'll just have to leave lots of distance between the car in front of me.

Hopefully Anchor uses a quick curing paint.
