EXTERIOR_PAINT_PROTECTION

[timetravelers]

Update from my post of 2009. I had the front repainted at CoachWorx in 2010. I took the 3M off by hand with solvent and scrapers before painting. It was a horrible job and I didn't really save any money on the repaint.

After I got my first stone chip, I decided to find a new film (didn't want to deal with a Bra) and discovered Diamondshield with it's lifetime warranty.

There was still some 3M below the bumper, so I asked if the installer could remove it. He got out his Wagner wallpaper Power Steamer #705 from the Depot. He used ScrapeRite plastic blades, hit the 3M with steamer, lifted the edge with a blade and pulled the 3M off slowly in one piece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It didn't hurt the paint one bit.
