- 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?

- 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.
