Clear Paint Protection Installation

fun2drv · 10-20-2009, 05:00 AM

I took some pictures while Julius Poa was installing the film on my car this past Saturday.

I went a little overboard with the coverage, but now the car is ready for action during the OH winter months...

Enjoy!

nice, looks good

Great job! How much does it cost you?

It seems like he didn't use the precut kit and cut it himself.. Very interesting.

Looks good! I had it installed on my car too.

Whole front bumper, 1/3 of the hood, 1/3 of the front fenders, headlights, roof up to sunroof, side mirrors, rear bumper right behind the trunk lid, and thin strips behind the front and rear wheels in order to mount the mud flaps without scratching the paint.

This is the third BMW that Julius has wrapped for me. As the daily driver, I want it protected against all the winter crap out here in OH.

No pre-cut here! Julius is "The Master" when it comes to paint protection. The pre-cut kits leave a lot of surfaces exposed. He spent over eight hours working on my car, right here at my house.

As far as cost, it wasn't as much as you may think. This is the third car that he has done for me, so I get a little break.

Ajumepke · 10-31-2009, 12:15 PM

Does anyone offer this service out in Los Angeles. I'd love to have it done on my 135

WoW! Your car looks GREAT! I noticed your man Julius has a syringe tucked ontop of his right ear. Is that how he gets the air bubbles out of the 3M plastic wrap?

All of the DIY videos I have seen on YouTube say just to keep working the bubbles out. They say NOT to use a needle. So what gives? I bought the factory precut kit for my car. As soon as the weather warms up and I get up enough courage, I will attempt the install. Interesting enough the factory kit doe NOT incluse any mirrors.

Does anyone know where I can buy a few feet of this 3M film from?

Thanks,
David

How much did you pay for that man?

Itanius · 05-05-2010, 10:29 PM

For what it's worth, I was quoted $750 for a similar coverage as the OP on my 135 (minus the roof, mudflaps, and trunk areas).
