My Demon just got done being painted, base/clear. The body shop is going to wet sand and buff it tomorrow( Saturday)after i had set a couple of days.
Any problem installing the factory Demon stripes( vinyl from a place like Phoenix graphics) on Monday afternoon???
Didnt know if there is any time issue with installing these stripes after a car is painted.

418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam, footbrake street/strip car
Best so far, 10.32 1/4

After the paint is cut/buffed, it will gas out even more, and may retexture, depending on the quality of work/mat'ls used, and at what rate (time line) the body work/primer/paint was performed, you might have problems, even if it was "baked"....IMHO I'd wait at least 6-8 weeks after the last cut/buff/polish 
The guy who i am having do the stripes said i should wait a few weeks, sounds like it was good advice. I wasdnt aware i had to wait.

x2 on this,i waited about a month or so on my 440 truck,i used a stripe from member challengergary,he has some good stripe kits also.
after my stripe was on,it had a few bubbles come up the next day. on garys advice i have let them be,sitting for almost 6 months they all worked there way out and dried up and are gone now,the stripe is stuck good with no flaws a yr later
