I got prices from an integrator in Northern Virginia on the 3M product to put on my Audi A8 and he wanted like $1,400!!. True, its a bigger car, but c'mon!
I will have to look into the Avery product.
Speaking of Stone chips... how good is the paint job on these cars? On my Audi, its amazing! It seems like its about 10 levels deep. On my Pontiac Vibe GT, it awful... like its only one layer.
The Crossfire paint is very nice. It has a pretty deep shine to it and doesn't have very much orange peel. I feel that it is fairly chip resistant.
Here are my subjective ratings on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best:
Shine 7/10
Orange peel 8/10 (hood and roof (horizontal surfaces) are almost perfect, and doors and fenders (vertical) are good).
Durability 6/10
I haven't owned a ton of cars, but from my limited experience I would say the paint is pretty darn good overall.
