Would you trust this on your car?

[JfuckinC]

I see lots of the guys building exotics and such using this stuff on the builds to protect the paint… think the PA stuff is ok? Haha

What?

[bjstare]

Probably. I assume all that shit comes from the same factory haha.

[flipstah]

Do you mean 3M clear bra? Those protect from UV

[JfuckinC]

No they stick this stuff to the fenders so they don't scratch the paint while they work haha

[brucebanner]

I haven't used it but know people that use it. So yes?

Ohhh a fender cover! Just use a blanket lol

Blankets would be a pain in the ass. It's bulky, slippery, would fall off (unless you taped it) and get covered in dust/dirt, which would then scratch the car when you put it back, unless you washed the blanket every time it fell. They absorb oil/grease/whatever and make a mess. There's not a single reason that a blanket is better for this purpose

[JfuckinC]

no an old blanket will scratch my paint you psychopaths

Edit: i'm trying to be responsible here, i've never actually cared about a cars paint like this before
@gpomp I'm going to need a detail from someone who cares soon here i think haha..

[flipstah]

What about a legit fender cover?

i have them, feel weird even with them, like bjstare mentioned they move around.

Also want something to use on other parts of the car, trying to fit a Wickerbill spoiler and even taped its marking up my paint....

[bjstare]

There's a reason they use film on really really expensive cars, and not other blankets/covers/whatever is kicking around the garage.

Spoken like true gents who don't work on their cars.

See that’s why I wanted it, works perfect.

[firebane]

Well you answered your question, but my concern would be how staticy is it coming off the roll and would that attract dirt.

Also.. your trim isn't even on the upper right side tailight.. that would drive my OCD nuts.

That’s the trunk lid =P had it apart it just needs to be lined up better haha… you don’t have OCD, that would bother most people.

One day, it’ll be complete and awesome.

Bonus photos of custom hood I’m starting. (And three other hoods in the background )

The green is a bold choice with that colour scheme but I like it.

Haha shiny black paint doesn’t mix well with 3D laser scanning, had to tape that to capture the data needed. Design the cowl in 3D had the pieces cut on a water jet. Did the same for the spoiler, and back seat panels I’m building, bit nerdy. And my triangulated 4 link rear suspension I built I guess. 3D scanning is great!
