Default Looking for a good clear bra installer....

As the title said, I'm looking for a reputable clear bra installer in Dade/Broward/Palm Beach counties. My car is coming out of paint this Friday, and I'd like to have this installed some time next week. Thanks!

I've had great experiences with auto supershield in Boca. http://www.autosupershield.com/

Shouldn't you wait 30 days for the paint to fully cure? I had mine done a few years ago and they would not touch the newly painted areas for 30 days.

You're supposed to let the paint "breathe." New paint needs to outgas, the solvents need to evaporate. Ricky you noob

I was told by a clear bra installer that if they just bake it twice, clear bra can go on immediately. I suggest consulting with the installer and/or paint/body shop.

Let me know who you go with Ricky. I put on a fresh lip a few months ago and would like to keep it looking fresh.

For what it's worth I did my own pre cut Invisible Bra a couple years ago and it came out fine...but the stuff can be difficult to work with as it requires some stretching to get it to fit right. I'm glad I did it. The only problem I found is that hot rubber from the track stains the film more than the regular paint and is more difficult if not impossible to remove completly. I think if you clean it off right away you have better luck. Get the mirrors done too & do a strip down the edge of your doors. Good luck with it.
