[Setone]

Hopefully getting my freashly painted bonnet back @ the weekend, once fitted would it be okay to use SRP and EGP on it? or should i wait a bit?

if it's baked in the oven should be ok to seal providing you don't use anything abrasive. if they haven't cooked it, it's best to leave it a couple of weeks before sealing.

If it's good condition, maybe wise to seal it with something more long lasting than EGP

Jetseal 109 gets my vote!

As above, if it's from a decent bodyshop that have baked the item in the oven, you can wax and polish straight away.

Re a decent sealant, Chem Guys Blitz is a good option for long lasting protection and great looks. Easy to apply and top up as well.

Abrasives are fine, we flatten and polish all out stuff straight out the booth.

Much better to get it like a sheet of glass.

I'm in the same position as the op. Got my car back with a freshly painted front and want to protect it.

Do I need to apply polish to the new paint or can I just go ahead and seal?

The rest of the car is going to be clayed and polished and sealed

Clay, polish and seal the lot Emma. The polishing stage would give a good base for the sealant to take hold.
