It doesn't matter, we decal the day after it's painted. Last time this came up I went out and put vinyl right on wet paint, Rival which is a 2k polyurethane. It's sitting in my shop, I'd be happy to take a picture of it if nobody believes there are no "outgassing" bubbles. It's about a year...

There's only 1 way streets in the city.
