As mentioned in another thread I've been restoring a 71 for the past few months. One issue that has raised its ugly head is how to project a fresh paint job while assembling the rest of the parts on to the body, especially in a small shop where proximity between the car and whatever you're dragging past it is a constant concern. I was watching one of the various car restoration shows on the speed channel, you know the ones, the ones where they restore a rusty incomplete classic to a new car in 5 days for twelve dollars. Yeah, fictional TV. Anyway, I noticed at one point they had a protective film/cover all over one car protecting fenders doors, roof, everything. It looked like a sticky film with removable adhesive. When I search on-line all I get is ad after ad for the usual 3M paint protective films. The stuff I saw being used seems like such a great way to apply a protective coating. It seals the paint and provides scuff protection. No dust, finger prints, accidental spray of whatever. Anybody care to share what they use to keep their projects protected or have a lead to this elusive temp protective stuff? As you might guess, the 71 is currently back at the body shop right now getting a few touchups....
