Durable Defense

Insects, rocks, sand and other debris can chip your vehicle's paint, leaving visible flaws to the car's exterior. With 3M™ Paint Defender Spray Film, enjoy peace of mind that your vehicle's paint is protected for a year. The Liquid spray dries to an invisible film that is safe for clear coat and removable when desired so that you can keep your car looking newer longer.

Suggested areas to protect

Include the vehicle's leading edge or full hood, front bumper, side mirrors, rear bumper, trunk lid, and rocker panels. Any painted surface can be protected. Below you will see some recommended areas that are considered the "hot spots" on the car that can receive the most damage during normal driving patterns.

Removability

This easy-to-apply spray on film is also easy to remove. No tools are necessary - just pick an edge with your fingernail followed by peeling the coating from the surface with your hands. And because of the specially formulated spray, 3M™ Paint Defender Spray Film won't damage your vehicle's paint or clear coat.

Easy-to-use

This product puts your vehicle's paint protection in your hands. The 3M™ Paint Defender Spray Film is designed for just about anyone to use from the convenience of their own home. Products are low in odor and water-based for easy clean-up.

The worry-free application is completely clear coat safe and can be easily removed if the desired appearance is not achieved the first time.
At the proper thickness of film applied, most of the imperfections will level out with a self-leveling formula that assists in reducing application error.

Starting with a freshly cleaned and dried vehicle, apply this product in three easy steps:

Mask and Tape: mask and tape the vehicle with 3M™ Paint Defender Application Kit, PN 90200 (sold separately) to frame the surface you want to spray.
Wax: using the 1oz packet of 3M™ Performance Finish Synthetic Wax (included) or any automotive wax, to prepare the vehicle by waxing the desired area prior to spraying to make it easier to remove film when desired.
Spray: spray the film paying attention to distance, speed and pattern. To make application even easier, use 3M™ Paint Defender Spray Trigger, PN 90201 (sold separately)

Spray Pattern

A total of 3 coats will be applied over the designated area using an alternating pattern (see diagram below). Note the left-to-right passes, then the up-and-down passes that represent coats 1 and 2. Coat 3 will be coated the same as Coat 1. Apply 3 coats to one half of the hood before moving on to the other half. Slightly over lapping these passes as you move down or across the panel will provide even coverage.
