Coleboy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 My Car is just about to have its colour and clear coat put on tomorrow, it will sit in the workshop over the weekend but then will have to park out side during work times, for the next week i could keep in overnight but will have to sit out the back once finished, any one recommend a paintwork friendly outside cover which wont brake the bank??????

Havard Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't think any type of cover is ideal, especially on new paint. I have a Stormforce 4 cover in a bag on my passenger seat and I am wondering if I will ever use it again. Rub marks and trapped moisture have been problems with mine. H.

ScottC Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I was told the worst thing you can do after a repaint is to cover the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you need to be able to make it secure as these things aren't very good if it gets a bit windy and could do a lot of damage if it got blown over.

TT Paul Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 dancovers seem abit stronger getting one of these soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) dancovers seem abit stronger getting one of these soon They look pretty much the same as what i've got just more money, unless your getting the pro series with hex tube legs. Mine has been fine on several occasions, you just need to make sure they're pegged down properly and with weights on the legs or they can take off in strong wind. http://www.dancovershop.com Edited July 19, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Don't put a cover on it mate if your car has just had a repaint ... Depending on what paint your bodyshop used you can't wax it either until the paint is fully cured I waited 2/3 months before I could wax mine again though I have a garage so that's all I needed to worry about Your better of just leaving it outside bare and keeping an eye out if bird crap goes on the paint work... Deping on colour you might find you will have to take it back for a buff again anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
