FAQsPAINT PROTECTION FILM
What is VentureShield Paint Protection Film? 3M/VentureShield
is the toughest chip protection film on the market. Combining excellent
elastic properties and optical clarity with a high shear and tack
adhesive, 3M/VentureShield is twice as stone resistant as the leading
competitor. How much does Paint Protection Film cost? The price of the film depends on how large or small of an area you want protected. We offer competitively priced packages that fit almost any budget, from basic to extensive coverage.
Why our prices may be slightly higher than others? You get what you pay for. Our company does not price-match. We focus on providing the highest degree of installation excellence and customer satisfaction utilizing premium grade 8 mil film. Newer companies into the industry sometimes rely on lower pricing and less coverage per panel to attract price sensitive customers because they, in general, cannot compete on the quality side. We focus on the future and the longevity of our business. It may be wiser to ask ‘Why is the ‘Other Company’ so cheap?’ rather than why we are more.
Will the film yellow over time? No. When properly maintained, 3M/VentureShield Paint Protection Film will not yellow.
Can it be washed/waxed? Yes,
but caution should be used when using a high pressure wash, keeping the
nozzle several inches away from the edge of the film. The manufacturer
also recommends using Plexus Plastic Cleaner, available through Fat Cat
Customs.
How long does it take to install a paint protection kit? With
precut kits, installations are typically completed in 3-4 hours. At the
custom level, it would depend on exact coverage to determine the amount
of time.
I don’t like to see the line on the hood, can you cover the entire hood? Yes,
on most vehicles we can, but remember that this will affect your total
cost as more film is used and installation time is longer.
I have an aftermarket bumper, can you cover this? Yes, utilizing custom install techniques.
Will there be a two-tone effect if the film is ever removed? As
long as the uncovered portions of the paint were regularly wash and
waxed, then there would be no indication that film was ever installed
if it were to be removed.
Is the application of the film permanent? This
is one of the many benefits of paint protection film - it does not have
to be a permanent application; however, it may require professional
removal. 3M/VentureShield Paint Protection Film uses a patented acrylic adhesive which can be
safely removed without residue, leaving your vehicle looking as great
as the day you bought it!
What is the warranty of the product and service? We
warranty our products for life to be free of product defect from
bubbling, yellowing, peeling and cracking. The warranty is non
transferable.
I just had my bumper repainted. How long do I have to wait prior to film installation? Recommended cure time would be 15-30 days. Do I need to prep the car before installation? The cleaner the vehicle, the better, however, we would do the proper prep work.
What can be done about wax build up along the seams and how can I avoid it? It
is important to understand that wax may leave a white line on the seam.
We recommend not waxing over the seams and cleaning the film and
uncovered portions separately to keep from wax buildup. If you
accidentally wax over the seam, just use a cotton swab dipped in
isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and wipe along the seam, being careful not
to get excess alcohol on the film as the alcohol is a de-glossing
agent. Another caution is to avoid buffing over the seams, which
creates a noticeable wax line as well.
Will it diminish the appearance of my vehicle? 3M/VentureShield Paint Protection Film will protect your vehicle for years, and remain virtually invisible.
Will my vehicle fade differently under the film? No.
3M/VentureShield Paint Protection Film is UV stable, but will allow UV rays to penetrate.
This feature eliminates the "two paint shades" problem resulting from
traditional "bras."
Can I cover my headlights? Yes. Patterns are available for almost all headlights and customized installation is also available.
