My guess is plasti dip first but the tint shop says I need to wait at least 4weeks for the plasti dip to fully dry. It seems important to wrap the bumper ASAP if I want to protect paint.

Suggestions?

You should clear bra the front bumper first.

Then once the clear dry has settled and dried completely to the car (1-2Days in the sun)

Then you can spray plasti-dip over the top

Tint shop doesnt know what they are talking about. Plasti-dip fully dries in about 20 minutes in the sun.

I agree with just about everything minus the last sentence. PlastiDip does indeed dry in 20 minutes it doesn't fully "cure" for 48 hours or so. If you Dipped a wheel and twenty minutes later you ran a pressure washer over it you probably are gonna tear it off. Let that wheel sit for awhile and come back a week later and you can all but put that pressure washer 1/4" away from the wheel and the PD should stay on. I would never put a clear bra over PD, but if I was to do so I would give it a few days to "cure" I wouldn't do it twenty minutes later.

Didn't think anyone would be dumb enough to take a pressure washer to their car 20 minutes after they plasti-dipped it!

My career is based on fixing and stopping stupidity. The things I see people do everyday defies all logic and common sense. I assume stupidity, it's just easier that way.
