Would people be interested in this?
 

I went to Campbell Auto Restoration today to take a few pics of my car and was able to take a few shots of Steve's 69 SEMA camaro. They have done something that I would be very interested in, and in fact asked to have this done to my car. They have a guy who does mylar coatings to body panels, and was wondering what kind of market this might have. Here is a few pictures of the mylar pre cut film. It was cut for this car, but CAR is talking to the person who did it, to do my car and a few others as well. What this coating will do is prevent chips in the paint wherever applied. It's not really dent resistant, but it will save your paint under the wheel wells and wherever you might apply this too. They will have templates made for these cars as you can see on this one. What do you guys think?

I would be interested in putting that behind my rear tires to keep the rubber from building up on the paint. Any idea how long until it cracks, peels or fades ?

I don't think it does fade. The older stuff years ago would yellow, but this new stuff is a lot better. It should not peel if applied properly.

If it's the stuff I know it's made by 3M. They have it in sheets to cut for what you want or they have pre cut for newer makes of cars. Very nice stuff. I would ck in to it yourself as I know that some guys that are doing this stuff at new car dealers are just RIPPING pepole a new a$$! The stuff does NOT cost alot and goes on fairly easy if you take your time! I will try to get the part# for it.

You're right they do make this for some newer cars like BMW and Mercedes-Benz and i'm sure quite a few others. What the deal might be is that these will be pre cut for our cars. 67-69 You won't have to cut them, just install them. I don't know, to me personally it's worth whatever they charge to save a good paint job if you drive your car hard at all.

I have XPEL like this behind the wheels of my Camaro.. it's a GREAT idea.

I would really like a kit of this that works like CLEARTASTIC where it can be removed and reapplied for the front valences (track days).

I also had stuff like this on my WRX and it really saved the paint.

Great idea and I bet there is a huge market for kits for our cars.

I think its a pretty good idea. I'd definately think about it if i get mine re-sprayed.

Does he have anything to stop birds ****ting on freshly washed vehicles...i'd be all over that!!! :P

I'm sort of testing to see if anyone would be interested in templates of this design for the camaro. I asked permission from Tom over at CAR if I can post this too see what people thought and if people would order something like this. Yeah, I think it's a super idea as well. What's the stuff you have?

I have been wanting a kit of this type for my 1st gen for a while. :thumbsup:
