I wouldn't clear the fusion. Two different types of paint. If you just absolutely have to clear it, wait 24 full hours before you do it. If I had to guess, I would say its still going to mess it up. If it was me, I wouldn't do it.

I'm going to let it sit as is for 24 hours and come back after work and put it back on tomorrow morning. Final look of it all cleared off:

I didn't have enough to safely cover all 3 so I'm going to get some white Krylon and do them later.

Thanks guys. Tomorrow morning I'm going to wash the truck really good THEN put it on and get pics. I finally did it. Since my dad handed me the keys to the truck this time last year, I wanted a billet grille, got te grille, wanted chrome surround, got the surround, wanted new heads, got the heads, wanted HIDs, got the HIDs, and now I wanted the bumper painted, and now my front end is DONE! I really want to thank built54 for his painting tips, they really worked, Grafix, 4.2trimble, Jeepin, and everyone else for really pushing me to do this! Thanks guys! Couldn't have done it without you!!! :santa:

Yeah, I put it in my friend's parking spot and told him to park outside for tonight. The clear coat smelled REALLY weird when we were spraying it on. Like whiskey or something. That plus the hardener was REALLY funky smelling

Looks really good.

Is the Fusion white close to your white? I'd be concerned that they'd be different whites and it would look goofy.
