If done properly, you won’t even see its application. We do this on cars to protect paint from stone chips, abrasive sand plus more. Hope some others will chime in.


I had my black tank covered with clear vinyl just as PB stated. You can’t even tell it’s on there. The guy that did mine installs window tint. Had the front and and 1/3 of the hood covered on both cars to head off paint chips.
