Default Car cover??

Hi all.
My car is coming back form painting on friday, finger crossed. but as my job means I work weeks away at a time, I need a very good car cover, but someone told me i couldnt cover the car after being painted, as Im having it base coat and lacquer, is this right??? as I wasn't sure if he ment I couldnt use the tarpaulin that was covering it up untill it when for painting.
Can anyone recommend a good cover for a car to live out side.
cheers Dave
