3M Paint Defender

Saw this in the store today and it looks interesting. I think total cost was about $35 and it might be a nice way to protect front bumpers for long trips to say, I dunno, Mustang Week! :thumbsup:

I have seen multiple types of this product around here, seems like they are getting popular, tell us how it works out for you cause if it actually holds up that would be awesome!

but how hard is it to get off then?

Good question.

Steve-Oh · May 22, 2013

No clue but as stated, good question. I would think it to be equivalent to plastic dip?! Might pick it up and try it on the Lincoln.

Id like to see an up close pic of the area they applied it to after it was dry.

wow. crazy!

I have seen the stuff that is an actual plastic that they apply similar to tint and that stuff is pretty incredible but not sure about this stuff. I don't think the end pic was any different then the starting pic as I would expect to see some kind of a line with a texture like that.

The vinyl sticker shit they put on the front of cars only looks good for like a year if that. Just detailed a AMG Benz today and he said it was done like nine months ago. It looked horrible. Was all faded looking and starting to bubble up in places.

yeah the vinyl stuff discolors pretty bad. Maybe this stuff is better? Who knows but I'd sure like to find out.

that seems like pretty cool stuff, seems like it would peel off kinda like plastidip. how much is this stuff?

Bunch of noobs. That stuff is so common around here in AZ. People use it all the time when they go to the drag strip, well at least when they were open, when traveling and even for daily use I've seen it. Lots of rocks on roads here.
