I am curious though if paint has to 'cure' for 2-3 months before applying xpel how are new cars right off the boat and delivered going for ppf and coatings? They are produced and painted in the factory and shipped and there is no way that paint sits for 3 months before the car gets delivered to the owner... is there?

I posted this on another topic thread with my source from FAQ PPF shop.
What should I consider when installing film on repainted surfaces? Repainted surfaces can be a touchy subject as it is not as durable as the factory finish. Factory finishes are baked onto the surface at 350+ degrees which allows a much harder surface and better cohesion bond. Repainted surfaces can be baked only at 150 degrees to prevent damage to the vehicles components and therefore the surface can be more susceptible to lifting, however, if it is a quality job then the burden of concern should not be so much.
