Apply vinyl before or after paint protection?
I'm thinking about applying either Opti-Coat or 22PLE paint protection to my ZL1. I have a set of SLP fade-to-black gill stripes and lower trunk lid black out ready to apply once the weather warms up a bit more. Is it best to apply the vinyl before or after the paint protection?

Thanks. That makes sense to apply the vinyl prior to the paint protection.

I just applied opti-coat last weekend. I emailed opti-coat before I put it over my vinyl and they said it would go over it no problem. I have gloss white b ut it made them pop a little more. So far very happy with the opti-coat.

The detailer I'm dealing with is pushing the 22PLE over Opti-Coat. Says it will produce more shine and since my car is not my DD it will last longer than the 1.5-2 years. I'm personally leaning towards the Opti-Coat even though it's more expensive. I was told if it is applied during the first 1000 miles, they will warranty the product for the life of the vehicle. That sounds well worth it to me.
