Protective Film for Paint...

[Stevenix]

Can anyone recommend a good protective film for paint that is less expensive than the 3M brand? I just got a 2002 SS and the paint is perfect right now. I'd like to protect the front end and right in back of all 4 wheels from stone chips.

Thanks.

I missed out on that auction, but wrote directly to the company.

For $32 delivered they are shipping me a 20' roll of their 24" wide, 3.2 mil thick, clear bra film. It's a little thinner, but will be easier to apply, and I can double film the lower fender areas right in back of the wheels. It's more than I need for one application, but it's too good of a deal to turn down.

Thanks for the suggestion of the clear spray, but I don't think that would protect from the rock/stone chips as well as a film?

Sweet I'm glad you found some and it sounds like you got a good deal too, nice.

Please post up your results once you have tried the film -- just curious as to how it works out. You can also do the binder clip trick with a set of clear mud flaps -- easily removable and good protection.
