3M Paint Film Suggestions - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys,

I've had my car for about a month now, and I'm being told I should get some type of film to cover the front, or possibly my whole car. I'm being told to use 3M film, and that this procedure cost around $500.

Is this true, and any suggestions on where to go? Anybody have good experiences with a company up here in the bay area.

I'm in San Jose/Milpitas/Fremont area.

Thanks fellas.

They source it out, and have a good reputation; the guy I went to for tint also sources out, but he's kind of high priced (exotics). Only a suggestion. Good Luck

$575 for the following (was told 3M was better than ventureShield). Hope that helps!

That's the same kit I got, plus the headlight,turnsignal, and fog light kit. Costed me about $750 installed.

In my opinion, it is well worth it. Be sure to do this early(before rocks and road debris finds your front end). I did this about 5,000 miles and I already had some small flaws on the front, which made some small bubbles/raises in the 3M material.
