Love this stuff

Review by Rob on 4/4/12

Love this stuff. Use it to protect the finish on my Triumph T100 when I strap
on the tank bag for motocamping. Have not tried reusing it as replacing it every
year has been cheap insurance.

The Best

Review by Roy on 1/2/12

Works great and very easy to apply. Have used it for years--just ordered my third package. If dissatisfied with how it's positioned, it can be pulled-up and refitted without leaving any sticky residue on the bike, or wherever it's applied.

Great Product

Review by BamaX on 10/25/11

Definitely works as advertised. Very easy application and stays put like it was glued on. You can't even tell it's there! Take care not to clean with anything abrasive or petroleum based (goo gone), as this will permamantly dull the plastic finish. Very highly recommend.

Snider's paint guard

Review by Gnome on 10/6/11

A little tricky to get the right fit on compound bends but doable. Place the guard so the majority of the film is flat. Pinch it on the compound curves so it stands up like a mohawk. Mark the base with a sharp point black marker. Do not remove the film. Trim carefully with a razor knife. If you're careful, when you remove the excess the seams will be close enough to press together without an overlap. If there is overlap, carefully trim with scissors or you razor knife then press on.

Just OK

Review by James on 9/25/11

I've used the custom cut kits of the 3M product before but couldn't find a suitable kit for my new bike so settled for this product instead. I'm not impressed. The 3M adhesive product is so much better. This stuff works on flat surfaces but that's about it. The 3M product also adheres to curved surfaces (with a little heat). This stuff is hopeless on curved surfaces. This wouldn't be bad for $14 but for the $21 I paid with shipping it's overpriced. (Really, $7 shipping for this??).

Works Awesome!

Review by Matt on 9/5/11

Just put on the Snider's Paint Guard and it was exactly what I wanted! The stuff was a little tricky to get cut to the shape I wanted but it is a weird KLR tank. For the money and the fact that it is re-usable...complete thumbs up. Only time will tell how it stands up but so far it is a nice product....

Works terrific...

Review by Diavelo on 7/28/11

You must be patient enough to cut the appropriate size and shape pieces, but once installed Snider's Paint Guard is terrific. I even used it to protect my taillight lenses from flapping luggage straps. Recommended...

Worked great

Review by NewWorldMan on 6/5/11

I tried the tankslapper kit but putting a big piece was too hard with all the contours. This kit worked great as I covered the area that needed it most with a piece that I cut myself. Little bit of water and used an ID card to smooth bubbles out. Simple as that.. took about 10 minutes total. I think it will hold up well.

Works great

Review by Alan Beck on 1/15/11

These did a fantastic job of protecting the tank of my Concours from my knees and tank bag straps. I never had a problem with them coming off unless I wanted them too, and it is great that they are indefinitely reusable. I eventualy removed them because, well, it's a Concours for crying out loud.

Hard to get "perfect," easy-to-get protection.

Review by Geekonabike on 5/22/10

I concur with previous reviewers. I was a bit frustrated I couldn't get one big piece to cover my side panels flawlessly, but in pieces (some quite small to fill gaps) I covered everything I needed to, and it stayed on fine. I needed it because my tail bag had built-in bungee cords, which rubbed hard on my side covers. With the sheets, there was zero wear after over 2000 miles. Otherwise, I have no doubt they would have worn right through my paint on my V-Strom. I have to order more because I can't find my old sheets, which I peeled off after my long trip. Oh well.
