Bonnet Stripes w/Clear Bra

How long do you have to wait after putting the stripes on before clear bra-ing over them? I want to have the whole she-bang done at once, but I'm wondering if it's even possible.

You should be able to do them at the same time. The only restriction I read about the 3M film was that you shouldn't put it on over uncured paint.

Since decals like the bonnet stripes don't have to "off-gas" the way drying paint does, you shouldn't have to wait.

Sweet...I was worried I'd have to drive around bra-less (haha) for a few days.

I ClearBra'd both my MINIs BEFORE putting the stripes on. That way, if I decide I want to change stripes later, I won't have to rip both the stripes and the CB off and replace them...THAT would be pretty expensive.

I was able to have the complete job done in a day.
