how long to wait before wrapping and packing for shipping

Hey gang!...

How long would you give the clear to set up before considering it safe to wrap, pack and ship?
thanks/g

Really depends on a few factors...mainly weather, what type clear, and how many coats. If you just had to spot and clear something, normally a couple days. If you did a candy job that would include 10+ coats (sealer, base, graphics, clear...), you should wait at least 3-4 days.
My rule of thumb is, if it's a full paint job and I finish it after Wednesday, I let it sit through the weekend before packing and shipping.
