Newbie here...

My windshield header panel (like many) has been chipping paint, which is distracting and eventually just looks bad.

I've talked to several people who have remove, stripped, prepared, and painted the panel, only to have it chip again within a couple of years.

So I was wondering if some of these new 'protective films' would work for recovering the header panel?

Would it be better to strip it, or strip it and paint it, THEN wrap it with film? OR, could it just be removed and wrapped as-is?

Just a thought.
