Looks like Elmer’s glue.

I wonder how well it would do on carbon fiber pieces…? Such as Lips or diffusers. Or would a clear vinyl be better?

The photo makes it look like it has a ton of orange peel, does it look like that in person? It’s nice having the protection against chips on the front end, but I would never do it at the expense of good looking paint.

deebo, the s14’s hood is CF.

Bing, what kind of prep work did you do?

i didnt do it, it was done at the shop and they followed the directions given so i can’t say for sure.

Bump. Old thread.

Has anyone had any success with the 3M Paint Defender Spray Film since Bing’s piss-poor experience? I remember those pics… it looked like a soggy mess.

I tried it and wasn’t happy with the looks either. It looked like massive orange peel even after setting and I had the white peeling too. And it was hard to get out of corners even when everything was masked off. If for some reason I did it again, I would only spray it on flat surfaces and mask at least 1/4" off any edges.
