3M paint protective film.

PSA & shill for Vince’s ecosystem. Vince you may want to mention 3m paint protective film for critical areas. Paul I noticed on your angle/oil change article your upper gear leg fairings are rubbing gear legs. Quick & easy to apply 3m film (that FlyBoys sells) to protect on gear leg under fairing. Put a strip aft of cowls on fuselage & cowl on/off is a one person job with no scratching. Flaps are another candidate. DOESN’T yellow with age & quite thin. You’re welcome Vince.

How thick is that tape without backing?

How thick is that tape without backing?

Just a couple of mils, it’s very thin and tough

I used this on my cockpit ledges next to the canopy rails and in several other spots inside the cockpit where seat belts and whatnot have banged up interior paint.

I was hoping for an actual measured thickness, but thanks for the reply.
