3M Paint Defender on the Z

[stealth23]

I've been wanted to get my front end protected from rock chips, even though I already have many minor ones, I wanted to prevent it from getting worse. After watching many reviews I ended up buying a few cans of 3M paint defender. I just completed the process a few hours ago, check it out...

1. Masking and waxing the area


2. completed, used about half a can. but i noticed lots of overspray on the left side of the hood. so have to wait till it dries,


3. yeah....


4. close up,


5. so here it is, after about 5 hours. doesn't look as bad but you can definitely see overspray drips.


6. since i still have 2 and half cans left, i decided to try again, So its time to peel it off.


7. came off in one piece


8. 2nd attempt, came out perfect


9.


10.


11. also did side mirrors


Overall, looks nice. I will leave it to dry for a few days, and wax it in a week. Ill post some pics later in the week.
