This Paint Guard is not available in India; at least not that I know of. So my idea of substituting it is with cheap sunfilm and 2-3 layers of it. Llumar has paint protection film mentioned on their website, but not able to procure it anywhere. Would appreciate it if anyone has any info on either that, or 3M ScotchGuard.

One more thing is, by cutting out the edges along the contours, the exposed contoured edges of the paint is still susceptible to scratches. By using a combination of soap-water and rubbing alcohol, the film can be stretched to cover the entire area in just a single piece. Even highly curved areas such as rear view mirrors in the civic can be covered in a single piece of the film

Just my thoughts. I had a spill from my bike recently and I am getting my tank and other plastic/cowl areas painted. I plan to film-up the tank, mudguard and the side cowls. So I will try and post my observations and results into the same thread if its permissible.
