Hi Steve,
The process is reasonably involved. 1) make paper patterns 2) digitiz the patterns, so loading details into computer, 3) Computer with special cutting machine attached cuts invisi-shield to size, 3) product applied after spraying soapy water to paint and using small squeegy to expel water and air. Very time consuming, especially on the Cobra. Some parts are easy to apply, but when you have large areas with curves on curves it becomes more difficult. On my car they in fact didn't use the invisi shield but another brand which has more stretch, but they use both brands. The blurb says will protect paint at 220kph from chipping. Time will tell. If you want details of guy in Sydney who is doing this I am happy to supply. You could easily do side spats yourself. I have also used it on rubbing points in the engine bay, where cables move on paint and polished aluminium. Also as mounting pad where brackets are attached to polished stainless etc. Anything else you want to know drop me an email.
