Default Paint protection film recommendations

My car is currently having the front bumper and lip spoiler repainted due to stone chipping and to stop this happening again I'd like to get them coated in the plastic film protection. Anyone got any places they can recommend?

Hi P800bry

I had a superb job done by this guy, for the life of me I cannot remember his name.

http://paintgard.co.uk/index.html


He is based in Hants right off the A3 about 10 miles outside Portsmouth in a purpose built garage.

It took him around 6 hours to do full bonnet, front of wings, nose inc spitter and the wing mirrors.


It may be a bit far but all these guys are franchised dealers so their are good and bad. He is a real nice bloke and takes a lot of pride in his work, he has done a few cars for Romans on the A217 at Banstead they sell prestige cars inc Veyrons, and doesn't mind you watching him work (he actually needs a bit of help doing the bonnet).

If you want to come and have a look at mine (I live about 8 miles from Crawley on the Surrey/Sussex border) you are more than welcome. Unfortunately I have a seized caliper and a Sorned car so can't meet you half way I'm afraid.

PM me if you want to know anymore.

I already found that company and am debating if it's too far or not. Thanks for the offer of seeing yours but i really don't want to go on any motorways till i have it protected.

Crawley to mine is all 40mph back roads. Take the country way to his gaff. I did, down the A29 along the A272 (Nice driving road) and 5 minutes on the A3. Keep plenty of distance between you and the vehicle in front and you will be fine.

He gives the car a good wipe down to make sure it's dirt free before applying the stuff.

I'll be caking it in masking tape just to be sure
