Then, they will flatbed it to the vendor I used for the Xpel (coincidentally the same one I used in the past), re-Xpel everything, the flatbed it back to finish the details (reinstall C7 Carbon side skirt and Camaro front fender badging). I estimate at least three more weeks if I’m lucky.
I would check that with the xpel tech hotline… I think that's too early for you to cover up fresh paint. Are they baking the paint on?

Fresh paint from the body shop usually takes 30 to 60 days to outgas.
