the real name for them is OVERLAYS . that in it's self tells you what they are ! painting them is point less . if your getting chips below the overlays thats ok . the overlays start at the chip guard line on the rockers . if you get some chips there they should not be down to the bare metal because of the chip-guard sprayed on the rockers . in my shop we offer our porsche customer our own overlays for all the porsche cars made . we have templates to cut them our selfs . we also off one to our customer that we made just a little bigger the the stock size offered . if you cut them out your self they will only cost about 40 dollars in materials . you can buy a roll of 3M film dirt cheap in the same mill thickness it's also offered in just about any color you want . we have a vynal plotter that cuts them out but you can use a X-acto knife .
if your car was just refinished you will want to wait about 48 hours of longer before you try to install the overlays back onto the car . if you don't the silvents that are still coming from the finish will delam the overlays . you will start to see air bubbles at first in the over lays . it will also eat into the new finish you just sprayed on the car . if you had your car sprayed in enamel you should wait at the least about a week before you apply the over lays . how you can see if the finish is setup enough . take your finger nail and push it into the finish . if you leave a finger nail make do not try to apply the overlays yet . wait until you leave no make from your finger nail .
