    Question about paint protection film.

    Hey guys, question about paint protection films. I have a 69 Camaro and was wondering what paint film to use to protect the car? It will have satin paint and was looking at doing all of the vehicle? Or should I just do some parts, like hood, front end and sides? Thank you.

    I apologize if the font is huge, posting from my mobile.

    XPel's "Ultimate"...

    But is this going to be a Daily Driver,
    a Garage Queen, going to be towed
    to/from car shows---a Show Car?

    Will have satin paint?

    When the painting is completed,
    there'll be a waiting period before
    the PPF can be installed.
    [And then it really still depends on how
    it's going to be purposed (see above)]

    IMO...

    •If it's going to driven:
    -front clip,
    -full hood,
    -front fenders (bikini cut)

    •Otherwise:
    -forego the PPF

    It's definitely going to be driven, on nice days and such. Not a show car, just a driver. What do you think about the bottom of the rear quarter panels and the bottom half of the sides?

    Protect what your budget will allow. The more the better imo.

    Protect the full front. Bumper/Full Hood/Fenders/Mirror/Pillers. Top of the back bumper if you go to load/unload items that could scratch the bumper.
