Yes I have and I am we'll and truly satisfied, superb job, this guy is very skilful as my car did not have a computer programme, he cut it on the car in such away that there are zero knife marks, your welcome to view my car.

[ecain63]

That's what I wanted to hear. Apparently he no longer cuts on the car as he has a printer that cuts from scanned images drawn on tracing paper. Got my car booked in for 3 weeks time as its away getting some body / paint corrections done at the moment.

[HiHoSilverSLK]

Let us know how you get on.

[ecain63]

I shall! This is what im having covered:

Make sure he cuts it straighter than the drawing ..... Lol

Looks good Eddie. I was considering getting this done on the Z4, but thought it probably wasn't worth doing on my car. Definitely would on yours though!

I saw your front offside arch at TWS meet, seemed to have an odd paint finish, like a run. I'm pretty sure you'll need to wait a few weeks after any new paint to allow the vapours to evaporate before wrapping - sure you already know this though!

Friend of mine with this beauty (Black) the car was totally protected when he bought it, and it may well have been done by PaintGuard @ W/L/V as he appears to have the contract with all the main dealers in the South of England

Had the front and bonnet done on my car - did a very good job.

Eddie if it was my car I would have the whole front end clear wrapped, the GT3 i look after had it done after it was resprayed and detailed so paint was perfect underneath. It gives a much cleaner look than having a patchwork of stuff all over the front.

In this pic the front wing, leading edge of the rear wing front of the sideskirts and mirrors are all covered, you can see the reflections on the wing are not quite as good as the door but its still very good.





I am down at Regal tomorrow so will I will find out who did it and txt you the details if you want.

[ecain63]

Thanks Luke. I'll have a think about having the front end done 100% if you think its a better deal.

Dan, Steve at Paintguard says to wait 10 days after paint for it to cure. Car comes back to me early next week and its booked in for the 23rd so thats a good 2 weeks anyway.

Car got picked up today and is now back at Merc. Excellent service so far:

Defiantly go for at least the whole front end, your not going to like the line in the middle of the bonnet, Steve managed to stretch the film successfully over mine.

I'd certainly confirm he wont take a knife anywhere near your car!

Depends on cost as to when it could be done. Spending a lot on the restoration so the wallet will need time to recover!!

May I ask rough costs of what you had done? Drop me an e mail if its more convenient

[spike ST500]

I'd be interested to see how Paintgard weighs up in cost against Paintsheild.

I started a similar topic a couple of weeks ago and since then have been comparing the two companies. Have researched their products impartially with their suppliers. I have decided to opt for Paintshield even though they're in Peterborough and probably more expensive. Just my choice - nothing against Paintguard.

Either way, it's quite an investment but hopefully will be worth it, if only for piece of mind............................
