Thread: PAINT PROTECTION FILM, HAS ANYONE USED IT?

Could you imagine getting it off!

I'm sure it's nothing a heat gun and acid couldn't handle

i wonder what it does to your fuel economy, probably weighs a tonne too

In the advert it said it only added about 75 lb in weight. ...

okay, so i only have to take out the rear seats to keep the weight down then

Not to mention if you need some panel repairs, what then?

In your experience, does it need another coat or have you found one coat to be enough? You mention that you used about 1/8 lt for 3 coats in a subsequent post (27 Feb) which leads me to believe the quantum of product that I have used is enough.

Kindly advise
Thank you
Mario

Paint shield is a slightly thinner viscosity to Road Warrior, I don't put it on thick in one go - I give it at least two thinner coats.

They actually recommend not using 1 coat, it makes it harder to remove.



The bubbles you speak of are most likely from the type of roller you used.

I don't have a picture of the type I used atm sorry.

Thanks Rich. I will keep it in mind next time re two vs one coat. FYI, I used an 18mm polyester roller, as per the YouTube demonstration.

Kind regards
