Stone chip protection - a new Paintshield customer

[CraigBruce]

As I drive my car (black 996 Turbo S Cab.) in and out of London daily come sun, rain or snow...and associated gritters, the front end was turning white. I couldn't bear to leave it unprotected following a respray and so turned to the helpful sorts on this forum.

Particular thanks to Sandy in Aberdeen for showing me the Paintshield on his 997 GT3 which convinced me it was the way to go.

My car took a trip to Paintshield home base last week and was returned to me on Friday - I'm very impressed with the results In fact, when I popped back into the bodyshop on Saturday morning to sort out a couple of bits...so were the guys at the bodyshop

I plan to post some before and after photos so that anyone interested can make up their own mind, but for anyone visiting Ragley and the PCGB festival this weekend you're more than welcome to come and see the result in the flesh. Tom at Paintshield was equally pleased with the results and is offering me a nice parking spot on his stand.

By Sunday I hope to have found the time to stick a coat of Zymol over the top of the film so hopefully the car will be in tip-top condition.

At £1200 for a 'full frontal' and a 4 year guarantee it compares well with the costs of getting the front end resprayed.

Craig, glad to help out.
It's always good to see the results before shelling out a load of money.
Think I might need to get my rear wheelarches done now though !!

I wonder if it'll still look nice and shiny after 4 years ??

Tom, no real swirl marks to speak of as yet. I will give you a call at some point though, and yes a video could be quite handy.
Cheers,
Sandy
