My car is in the process of being painted. I have the RE copy and it is sagging like they all do. How to I keep it from sagging? My body guy is afraid it will crack the paint.

You might want to clarify for those who don't know what it is.. "Great Stuff" is spray-in foam insulation you can get from any hardware store.
