Can any one confirm it's best NOT two cover freshly painted body work with a car cover for at least 3months?  :undecided:

I would have thought 3 months is excessive. After a month or so it should be fine.

I would get a really good quality car cover it if its outside in the elements. Cheap covers will scratch the paintwork as it chafes with the movement.
