this is a new 3M product that i wanted to promote at my shop,there's no advantage to paint. We also sent some images to 3M to see if they would use it to promote the product. If it fades, which i don't think it will....i can just remove and redo. sorry, haven't worked on it all summer, we are swamped with work durimg the summerin. i hate having to look at it and not able to drive it.
