Reply With QuoteDid you have to wait days between applying coats or just wait until it's dry to touch then apply another?

SubscriberI think his was not thick enough to handle the rain and stay on but thick enough to come off in a sheet.

SubscriberJust dry to touch. 3 coats. James did either 1 or 2 coats only IIRC.
Also he used a different product that may not be as good but comparison not equal if different number of coats.

Good feedback Scott, thanks.
This might save me some cash when we do Googs Track at Easter.

How long does this stuff last for when applied before needing to be redone?

SupporterI have used "Road Warrior plus" which I believe is a very similar product. The longest I have left it on for was about three months and in that time I didn't feel the need to go over it with an extra coat. It does seem to pick up the red dust colour though, which I don't mind.Originally Posted by TuffRR

Shield & peel says good for 3 months on packaging

SupporterSorry to dredge up an old thread - I tried to message a few of the posters who've tried it but ya'll inboxes are full. The last post was from a good four years ago now are people still using the stuff? still think it's good/worth it?
For those that are - do you paint the wheel arches/flairs? What about the front and/or rear lights? How do you apply it to non-flat surfaces like the wheel arches?
Do you peel the masking tape off when it's wet to avoid lifting a sheet off or is that not an issue?
Our Mazda has it. It was done by the dealer 5 years ago. Has a couple of scratches in it, but otherwise it's fine.

SubscriberI'm still using Shield n Peel PaintShield, as recently as August for another Simpson crossing. Brilliant stuff, not a tear in it, no scratches to paint and more than worth the cost and time. And we went through some very sharp spinafex and other bushes, both in the desert and the Flinders. We also had severe wet weather and it handled that well without any loss of performance. The secret is three good coats with a good quality small roller.
I coat all painted surfaces including wheel arches that can get scratched and the rear light reflector which is on the side of the vehicle. I also do the bonnet for longer trips, this also helps with sun reflection when driving west. Masking tape is removed once it's dry but you still need to be careful as sometimes the edge of the shield can be lifted with the tape. Not sure if it would be better when still wet.
Shield n Peel for PAINTSHIELD
