3M Paint defender kit

Just reread your question- Hopefully this helps- I tore a section and then resprayed over the exposed area and the remaining product. When it dried the edge of the two were areas was not easliy identified. But you could see it. I sprayed heavy on the area where it was removed and a light coat on the remainder. It just seemd to have more orangepeal on the area where the coats overlapped. Not sure why. Sorry did not take pics of the panel

Well I just did my car with the 3M Defender. NOT A HAPPY GUY! Everything is pretty much straight forward and what Beastly said. Splatter?? Drips falling off can. At one point I didnt realize the stuff was running down the side of the can and plop! I read the directions and it said NOT to try and fix it, it will level out. I dont think its gonna happen with these drips. I may have to start all over again. Not sure. The tape came right off perfectly. Nice and smooth line. Here are some pics......

Just finished the nose of my GT40 with 3M Defender. Product exceeded my expectations. Tips for good results are:
1. Do a test area first to get feel for spraying and coverage. It does peel off easily.
2. DON'T FORGET TO WAX FIRST
3. Wait 2-3 minutes between each of the 3 coats. This minimizes run risk.
4. If nozzle spits stop immediately and clean nozzle. I only had this happen once and it still blended in when it cured.
5. Let cure in shade for about 1hr. so material can level out. Then roll into sun for rest of cure. Mine cured in 2 hours at 75 degrees.
Is this as good as adhesive film? Probably not, but at $25 I was amazed it looks as good. As far as chip protection time will tell.

Dave:
I'll have to take a look at your application when we get to Denver on Saturday. Sounds like it worked out well for you.
