    Hi, I’m after someone letting me know where to buy 3m paint protection film,
    I’m wanting to start to offer this as Ive had a few people enquirer about it.
    if its not 3m then if anyone knows of a different good make to use…
    and a approx cost expected to pay for the film?
    also i know you can buy the shapes already done, i wondered if there was a site i could go on to pay to download the shapes to cut them on my plotter, ive enquired about this with a couple of companies but they wanted me to do a course at £2000 before i could buy the shapes.
    i didnt fancy doing this.
    any help would be great, thanks.

    I am almost certain they offer a limited use cutting program.
    You buy a quantity of film, and they give you a license for their program to cut that ammount, using their templates.

    Johnson have stopped doing the film although on the website still, I called Armadillo direct (Venture tape) and they have just sold out to 3M this month!

    update, re-branded product available only via 18 dealers direct in the UK as from April. They are also releasing a Matt version for wrapping the whole vehicle, should be interesting
