- Q. Does 3M paint protection film require special care?
- A. No, the film can be treated just as any other surface on your vehicle.

- A. A standard installation can be completed in about 1-4 hours, but time can vary depending on the vehicle make, model and amount of coverage selected.
- Q. How long does the film take to set/cure?
- A. Paint protection starts immediately, but the film can take 2-10 days to fully adhere to your vehicle. The time will vary depending on weather, and temperature. The only limitation during this time period is no washing of the vehicle.

- A. Most major insurance carriers are reimbursing clients for film and the labor reinstall. We suggest that you check with your provider to be sure.
- Q. How do you create different film designs?
- A. SkipChip engineers use CAD technology to design each car kit individually. It is a time consuming process, but the detail and quality creates a better finished product.
- Q. My car isn’t brand new, can I still get the protective film?
- A. Yes, brand new cars present less challenges because they have little to no current damage, but 3M paint protection film can be applied to any vehicle.
- Q. Can the film be removed?
- A. Yes, if the film ever needs to be removed, 3M guarantees it will come off without damaging the original manufactured paint job.
