Congrats Snake ThumbUp
Worth the Wait No Doubt.
How long has it been since the Trike portion was painted? Needs to cure around 60 days (seems to be the Consensus as you hear 30 to 90 from good Paint People) before sealing with the 3M type Products. What "They" say anyways.

Finally got it home !!
Maybe a moot point now you have it home already but, did some investigation about cure time on the paint.
Talked w/the custom paint shop that did my trike.
If air dried coatings are used then there is a somewhat extended cure time needed before applying the film.
If the proper hardeners are used and the body is then baked, as this shop does, there is no need to wait for a extended period of time.
Hope you enjoy your trike as much as I have mineepper:

Hope you took a nice long detour getting home. Just the excuse for some time in the (new) saddle.
