[Beastly]

Ok here is what I learned about the 3m paint defender spray can stuff. Its spray can splatters, goes on milky and rather thick does not seem prone to run or drip. The product claims 4 hrs to dry. It took almost 10 in 80 degrees and 35-40% humidity. But the slow drying time allowed the orangepeel look to flow out. When you remove the tape edge the plastic/rubber wants to come up with the tape. It leaves a rough edge. I let that sit for an hour then wiped with a microfiber towel and the rough edge came right off. It seems about a half as thick as the 3m vinyl sheet stuff I have used in the past. The edge is not as noticeable. I also had a test panel that I sprayed and then I tore some (not all) of the paint defender and recoated. I wanted to see if the paint defender stuff could be touched up. The answer was yes. Overall result is a very clear, smooth surface. I have no idea how long it will last or what it can take as far of abuse-but will update in a week or two.
