New Paint Car Cover?

Hey guys just curious does anyone know who makes a specifically breathable car cover intended for fresh paint jobs? The car is in for paint now should be done by the beginning of march. Im going to let it sit in the garage uncovered until mid June when I take it to get built. 3 1/2 months or so should be enough to expell most of the gases ill be dusting it off weekly to keep it fresh. Ill have to tow it on a flatbed to be built in June although im planning on covering most of the car in transport wrap like the dealerships use. Does anyone have a suggestion for a breathable car cover to put on it after its built. The car will always be garage kept just need something that keeps dust off, breathable material and doesnt cost a fortune.

Thank you

you're parking in a garage, why do you need a car cover?

Just to keep dust and such off im just concerned with the new paint job, other than that some dust won't hurt. I guess I'm just very particular.

<<coming from a paint tech. here. You should be fine letting it sit uncovered. a full cure on a paint job, depending on what products used, usually takes 1-2 months to fully cure. Thats when you can wax and should buff etc., alot of people buff after a short period after the paint job. you can do this but will have a chance of it hazing back out. If you have any questions that i could help you out, PM me.
