ATLANTA CALLING FOR A REFERRAL

So it cost me an arm and a leg to repair all the rock chips sustained in all the speed events I entered this year (Some of it was from hauling the car on open transports). In fact I went so far as to buy a new enclosed 24 foot v-nose race trailer.
I need a high end a PAINT PROTECTON FILM installer in ATLANTA that does great work. I know of several installers, however their work was less than perfect(If u know protective film, then u know what I'm talking about). I am specifically looking for someone who has personal experience with the install on a high end car, rather than "I heard this guy does good work". No disrespect intended but I think you know what I mean by that. I've learned my lesson the hard way. Trust but verify.

Try Dave from Speed Film. His number is 678-249-7165. He has done several 911's and my SL55 for me. Always perfect and professional. He is located off of Alpharetta highway between the Nalley audi and the BMW dealer. Tell him Louie sent you. He has also done several of my friends cars and all have been pleased. Hope this helps.

Dave @ Speedfilm FTW. Those guys know what they are doing, and take their time to do it right.

The X-Pel they did on my car has been great, no peels, cracks, nothing.

Dave put speed film on my SL55 and did some nice other touches in addition to the front end. He covered the mirrors, the door handle cups, the fuel door, and the wheel wheel edges. It looks and performs well.

Same with me, he even threw in the door edges at no extra cost. That's real customer appreciation and service.

I worked on his computers there, got one that was foobar back up and working.
