Arrow Protective paint film?

Hi New here,

I've had my 2019 3 series for a few months now, I've recently had it ceramic coating but I'm looking for some paint protecting film for door sills, boot etc as I'm super OCD with my cars.

I've also seen some on amazon for the Dashboard is it worth getting?

Does anyone know where I can pick these up?

If anyone knows where I can get the CAD drawings I also own a large printer/cutter so could do these myself if nobody has seen them for sale.

Anyway, if anyone can help id really appreciate it.

if you want to just go to a clear bra shop, they will handle it for you rather quickly. Not everything is DIY, and if you are so OCD, might be best to have someone else do it who does it for a living...rather than you TRY to do it, do you have the tools?

As said above, this is not a DIY job at all.

Take it in and get it done the right way.

Also, I am not sure about applying ceramic coating under PPF. It is usually done the other way around.

Like TTG said, they’ll have to remove the ceramic coat, apply the ppf and then ceramic coat on top of it. Someone said it was because the ppf won’t stick to the coated surface.
