Just make sure it's dry /cured (2 days should do it) before painting over it. Do you really have to wait that long for it to dry/cure?

I certainly don't wait that long, maybe a few hours if I applied it in the morning or overnight if in the evening.  The way I figure, if you're able to mop it onto a floor and walk on it after an hour or two, it ought to be good enough to paint or decal upon after few hours.

It's probably fine after a couple of hours, but I usually wait until the next day to do anything with it, especially masking.

I do it on every windscreen and canopy, no problems yet.
