Llumar Steel film uses metal sputtering and has no dyes to colour the film which is why it maintains the colour so well. Films like 3M are all dye based and will eventually change colour (like those Garware films which are grey when new and over the years turn bluish purple).
Has anybody used Sunshield 'Black Metal' film? It looks nice but will it last long?
Sunshield!! From the name I could for 100% say that it is not a German brand. It could be "imported" as the dealer says, mostly Taiwan or China.

Stick to the branded ones like Llumar, V-Kool or 3M. I am using LLumar AIR75 for the past 1 year and I am really happy with it. Absolutely no scratches and good head reduction.
