I did a DIY on rocker panel and rear door PPF and it was fairly easy. It requires 6" x 144" in length for the rocker panels. The rear door I used 12" x 24" and cut that in half and used paper to trace the wheel well.

Applying is not too bad at all, just need a soap and water solution and a plastic squeegee. Less than 1 hour of work.

I used 3M Scotch Hard from eBay.

I totally concur! I suspect we can blame the EPA.

This ^ Plant Spartanburg when it opened was the first automotive factory in world to have water based paint. They had significant issues in the beginning.
