foot solder, perhaps you can do PAG a favor and send them a e-copy of your work...
PTS,..... psssst

separate question: i know you are clear filming the car as you dont want to do this intricate livery again.
in general, the the EU community, is it common to clear film their cars.
here in USA, it's a knee jerk reaction : buy car ==> film it....

I'd say yes.

yes, I’m afraid it’s caught on here as well. People spending 5k to save a 1k front end respray later...
i like my cars naked, as they loook better, and would never wrap a ‘normal’ color car, whatever it was.

Having said that, I didn’t put PPF on my repainted R and having driven it on various tracks and road trips, it’s showing the war wounds. A fix will still be cheaper than PPF though - it just depends how many times you do it.

Friends of mine on same trips have had chips even with PPF and are now paying for both!
PPF and front lift are generally in same boat for me - just go old-school and fix later for less cost. No lift on 2RS.

I'll have to take a break from watching the World Cup matches to check Moby's debut. I hope you enjoy it to the fullest.

agree on every point
i dont think i will do PPF next time.
i actually like the chip and patina. sort of like my highly scarred knee and calves from flying off my MTB in younger days.

and keep the pic coming...

I am living in Germany and i had never PPF.
I considered for my GT4, but finding the right installer and than XPEL was not easy. Then they asked for a ridicilous price, which costs more than half of full repaint at Porsche. On top, I see some PFF results and I didnt like it. I have a 2 component coating, which helps to keep the car clean.

I am driving the GT4 for 7000kms and mostly mountain roads. I have very small chips on the car, but i had a cracked front window. I will not install it on my GT3T as well.

I agree. I actually like the chips. PPF guys probably spend $1,000 on a mobile phone beautifully made out of solid aluminium then put a $5 case on it.
