putting emblems back on after paintjob?

I just got my hood, bumper, and headlight covers painted and I had to take off the stainless bird from the front bumper.

how long should I wait until putting it back on? i was told to wait 6 weeks before waxing.

I got my rear bumper painted and I put my stainless letters on after 1 day. I don't see the harm in putting em on, they aren't doing anything to the paint.

Emblems i would wait one day but if you havd racing stripes or hockey stripes you need to wait 30 days for the paint to fully cure.

I would wait a couple of days, but I wouldn't wax where you are putting the emblems - just clean it with alcohol.

I think I may need to get my front end repainted also... I had a damn semi-truck blowout thrown at my car yesterday, and it did some damage to my brand new VSG paint - I feel your pain, man.

I personally would wait the six weeks to be safe...
