 I've heard good things about these guys and will likely use them upon repaint (SF Bay Area)...

  shows, and feel that the newer quality films are pretty good. My
  likelihoodA of getting rock chips are pretty high and actually
  expected. The front of my 1969 911 is tattered with them and the touch
  up paint looks terrible, leading into what will eventually be a repaint
  of the hood and valence. For me, the film makes sense. My .02 cents.
