I have always been told and read to wait 30 days before applying vinyl on freshly painted vehicles. I have a customer who is painting his trucks and wants his graphics on as soon as possible. I suspect he is having them repainted by a low end paint shop.
I want to be sure I am telling him correctly why he should wait, what I have is that applying to fresh paint that it will continue to outgas resulting in bubbles in the vinyl, though I suspect they will disappear in short order, and the paint may not stick well, resulting in flaking as the vinyl is repositioned during application. Any other negative things with putting vinyl down too soon on fresh paint?
With all this in mind, my customer is still wanting to do this as soon as we can be ready, does anyone have a waiver they can send or suggest to me to use to have my customer sign?
As always, thanks for any and all help,
