Magnetic skin protector option

[H2mike]

I really like the idea of these paint protectors. As many of you know they run between $450-$700, depending on where you purchase and the color. I found an alternative option from my friend who does signs and vinyl letterting. He showed me one of his suppliers that carry the large magnetic sheets(same thickness as SMA). They carry a large variety of colors and sizes. I found the sheets that I may purchase: diamond plate. It is a brand new "color/style" for this sheeting. The only downfall to this sheeting is the size. The largest width is 24", but it actually would be easy to piece two together. All you would need to do is run a similar style vinyl down the seam to hold them together when removing. You will need to do the cutting too, but that can be done with scissors or a razor. The advantages would be both the pricing and more skin coverage. Example price: 24" X 10' -Diamond Plate - $45.00 . Not bad at all. Just think, $180 worth of magnetic sheets would cover the same amount as SMA, but you get to choose MORE colors and styles. If you purchased 1 more sheet, you can cove ALL additional metal sufaces that SMA cannot. I will look into the sizes more because I think you can get a 50' roll. Also, the solid colors are even cheaper. Just wanted to share some info/ideas and will let you know how I make out.

What do you guys/gals think?
