Were they painted on? If so I would wait at LEAST a week for the paint to dry.

dont go cheap on the cover, get one thats an EXACT fit and made for the mustang, some places even have it for with or without spoiler...

if you go cheap on the cover and get a generic one, it will end up flapping around and scratching the hell out of the car... everywhere.

(can you tell it happened to me?)

The paint is completely dry a couple of hours after they paint the car, then it's cured under UV lights.

You can buff it the same day.
