Best to wait until end of season for car being used

I think you're in good company Jon most of the Souther Cecils have that well used look
If you get it painted before the trip you'd probably stand out like some sort of a polishing perv

Where can you get these kits?? Whats the best one, Venture shield etc??
Can you do it yourself or is it just worth paying someone??

I'm in the same dilemma. Rear bumper is getting bad where it gets stone chipped. But I use the car on track so it seems almost pointless doing it. But may get it sprayed and get that Ventureshield put on

Dont do it yourself. I looked into it and spoke to a friend who runs a signage company. Asked if I bought the kit would he fit it & he wasn't keen as you get it wrong it will look awful.

Venture shield has some good reviews

TBH my rear bumper hasn't suffered but had the front done last year, bumper bonnet into wings and after a few miles and a track day it was peppered again!

IMO if you gunna spend out on paintwork the protection is a must
