3m paint protection
Has anyone tried the 3M Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film On their car? I was thinking about getting the spoiler done if I ever the chips repaired and some paint put on.

I wonder how visible it would be. I wouldn't like it if it looks like there was scotch tape on it.

Even so, wouldn't there be a visible demarcation line on the hood?

When i detailed cars some trucks had it on the front end of the hood and it wasnt very noticeable at all. Looked good in my opinion

Hmmm...My guess is it would be worth trying. 3M makes awesome stuff, so I wouldnt worry much about weather it works or not. Depending on how thick, smooth, ect. it is, you may want to cover the entire top of the spoiler with it and let the edges be underneath, so that you cant see it. Tings like this usually only show on the edges, highlihted by dried wax or dirt

I've seen it on several cars and personally I'm not a big fan, but it does seem to work as advertised. To me it's about as noticable as several paint chips.

If you try to hide it, it will be noticed. If you make it noticable, then it's O.K. That is why I use a black magnetic bra on my pearly. Check my locker.

I had a bra on the hood for a year and I couldn't believe the damage that it caused. I took it off to wax and everywhere underneath was scratched up. You couldn't have done more damage with a sander. It looked bad on a CF hood. Humph. Hey, anyone want a used Bra It's slightly damaged from me kicking it around the driveway and then driving over it a few times. I think I still even have the earmuffs that go over the side view mirrors. Last edited by Hop; 03-31-2007 at 06:11 PM. |

This car seems to be a rock and door magnet. I should just rhinocoat the whole thing and be done with it. |

Aren't the sheets by the rocker panels in front of the rear wheels the 3M protectors?

Thats what I was thinking, though I think the product he is considering purchasing is thinner. Im sure it would be a similar material
Have you considered mabey sanding the chips put and having the wing resprayed? Might actually cost the same or less than covering it with some film
