What is the 3M clear coat, where do I get it and who installs this. Looking for something to protect the fenders from chips.

Champion sells it and about any automotive body shop can install it. I have it on my trike and it's virtually invisible. Works like a charm!! Check out the Champion site. ThumbUp

H-D makes a clear kit also for this application. Part# 83989-10

Its installed the same way window tinting is. You could check with the the local tinter to see if they can do it for you

Thanks, have seen the kit at HD, just wasn't sure it would do the trick. Is the stuff heavy enough to stop a rock from chipping??

I had the 3M protectant on my previous trike for 6 years, and it definitely protected the paint. No doubt about that! I have it installed on my new trike also, and highly recommend it.

I did not buy the film from HD. A shop that does window tinting should already have the 3M (or comparable product) in stock, and they can cut and install it for you.

Call any car dealer that sells luxury cars, Jag, BMW, Mercedes or even the local Corvette club as to who installs the film on the new cars. I found a guy here in Nashville that does all the high dollar cars here. He has a contract with several dealers to do them. The film on my TG is warranted for 5 years or so. The installer was able to bring the film over the crest of the outside of the fender to the pinstripe. If it gets too dinged up or scuffed up he will replace it under the warranty. He even made some small pieces to cover the fronts of the lowers.
