Hi guys I was thinking to put some paint protection on front/nose fairing. Can someone advise on this? What did you use and how hard is to put that right? thanks a lot
I fitted 3M Ventureshield paint protection from new,the flat sections are easy enough,fairings tricky and nose cone was a pain. Still looks good 2 years later but have noticed a few leading edges gathering a bit of road dirt.
No..... Not good at thing like that, it just took me three attempts at putting a screen protector on my IPhone.
Here's my post in relation to it........... http://www.1000rr.co.uk/threads/the-eagle-has-landed.24110/page-3#post-356826 If you have the knack.......... Some have, I haven't so paid for it to be done by these guys, first class job. http://www.paintguard.co.uk/
Some people mention that it yellows after a few years, the way to avoid this is : Taken from another post. The way to avoid yellowing is not to use any cream type polishes as they all contain a mild cutting agent which cuts into the surface of the venture shield. Whey you clean your bike if it's fitted with venturesheild, use a mild soap (Autoglym, Meguires etc etc) to wash the bike, then use a spray polish such as Demon Shine Spray-On, Autoglym Instant Show Shine, Meguiars Gloss and Protect Mist & Wipe......... Or any spray on shine as these don't contain abrasives. This will ensure your Venture Shield doesn't yellow, but "extended" periods left standing in the sun can also contribute to a yellowing. At the end of the day, it's capable of preventing stone chips to your paintwork, so should you wish to sell your bike, take the ventureshield off and the bike looks way better than if you hadn't had it. Personally, I think it's worth it to protect what could be an expensive respray.
Had it on my 20th anniversary and was fitted by a professional. Mines hasn't yellowed but it is showing a bit of dirt at the edges. A trade off I'm willing to accept as it does protect it.
