Paint Protection Film

Discussion in 'Detailing and cleaning' started by Justatad, Jan 13, 2019.

  1. Hi all, after just purchasing a mint Honda VTR 1000 sp1 , I’m wanting to protect the paintwork against stone chips , I’ve bought helicopter tape off eBay in the past for other bikes, but the width it’s available in means it’s only really suitable to protect fork legs, front mudguards
    Is there anything out there people are using that comes in wider lengths?
    Cheers

  13. Rob, I think some times people confuse protective tape such as heli tape , with kits such as the venture kits and then the Self healing film, could you explain the differences?

  17. I have an Expel Stealth kit on my white Supersport, looks great but get it proffessionaly fitted, if the bikes worth protecting it's worth having it fitted properly. Havent ever seen any issues with this or venture shield, even after time.
