My brother did a full wrap on one of his cars, was around 5g. I just want the clear film, and was thinking 5g ish.
I have bright green paint, so the rock chips show.
3M paint protection cost?

Like to get the range rover done, dealer quoted $3500 for front end to A pillars. Will need to shop in Kelowna area to see, didn’t know there was film options. Good info guys.

just for A pillars and front end?, shop around and avoid dealing with auto dealers on those extras.sirkdev

The world's first self-healing clear bra just got better. XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is the glossiest, longest lasting, and most durable paint protection film available.

Lots of times its way cheaper to go to a vinyl shop that wraps vehicles and get them to do it. I think when we looked for my buddies GM it was $1700 for 3M at the dealer and Pixel Imaging in Calgary did XPEL for like 700. It was a much better quality product as well.

I wish I would have got my truck 3M paint protection. Now I have to pay for paint. That sand / blast rock they spread on the Highway traveling to the mountains is hard on paint and trailers!

Yes and it’s the water base paint doesn’t stand up at all .
It’s just another cost you need to budget for on every new vehicle.
Hard to believe they can get it that thin . Lol

Just looking for some recent feedback, no that you did it would you do something different next time

I purchased a factory paint pen for my color code on both the Miata and the M3 ad the installers filled the chips/scratches before applying the xpel, if you get up close you can tell where the chips were but from 5 feet away you'd never know.
Ditto
When saphire creative wrapped by truck for sema they paint penned in the chips and couldnt reaLLy tell

So have done some pricing and expensive stuff, do front edge of roof, whole hood and front fenders, bumper and headlights $ 3900.00
looks like the leader is lumar, life time warranty at any lumar installer, Expel is only warrantied at the dealer that installed it
did all windows for heat protection, little tint on the front 2, kid did his windshield ald worked out good, if the windshield makes the winter i will do the same. Truck faces south when parked.
