I have just had my cerbera painted at central Tvr(and a great job they have done).
As cerbera's are prone to stone chips etc would I be better off using some kind of paint protection film,or going without.
Don't want it to look out of place after a few months though, have seen some film go yellow.
Also how easy is it to remove without damaging the paint.
Car has only been painted 2 weeks.

The ONLY place to seek advice is the bodyshop that did your paintwork.

Having a good quality film applied is a good idea, you'll be glad that you took the plunge once you see the hoe well it works. You will have no reason
to remove it apart from damaging the front end of your car that is.

Without a doubt, consult your bodyshop. Paint needs to fully cure before applying a wax or a paint protection film. All the solvents need to evaporate. This is known as the 'gassing off' period. It could take up to 90 days. Sealing fresh paintwork will only cause problems down the line.
