How long to wait after body work before ceramic coating?

How long should one wait after having panels repainted before you can ceramic coat them?

Should be getting the car back from Tesla Service this week after having hood, front bumper, and several other panels repainted due to paint defects found at delivery as well as damage that occurred while in Tesla Service's possession.

Ready to ceramic coat the paint but wasn't sure if I need to wait a bit?
 
Yeah, the standard is to wait 30 days after body work before any coatings, Paint Protection Film, or Vehicle Wrap to allow the new paint to fully cure.

Thanks for the info. Really want to go ahead and coat it... but will just have to wait for a nice November day baring no more paint work required at pick up inspection. Was wild to look at the car on the app while at the paint shop and see it baking above 130 degrees indoors.
