...having the paint protection similar to armour fend fitted. :)

 

Interested in this Jon; I don't have much experience/exposure to cars that have had this done, but someone on here posted up that they wish they hadn't as the 'edge' is very easy to see; I've noticed that on a few cars I've seen - have you found a better solution?

 

I'm also never sure how polished & shiny a car can be with this stuff on, Vs without?

Is that rust?

 

Nope, stopped, it filles any extra deep chips that didnt come out with the prepping. I assume you mean the red bits?

No solution, a company phone the bodyshop offering a free demo. I took it :innocent:

I will still have a line, but TBH i dont think there is any other option as paintwork is so expensive and i drive right up peoples arses when racing or 1 day at marham car ruin a bumper.

Ill post up links when its done and you can make your own mind up.

The car is almost ready to be driven into the oven. Just a bit more masking, the dash needs scotching and the door need wet priming.
