Paint Protection Film FAQ's
- What is it?
Paint Protection Film is a clear 8-9-mil polyurethane material that is applied to painted surfaces and protects against damage to paint caused by bugs, rocks and other debris.
- Who makes it?
Paint Protection Film is made by a number of manufacturers including 3M, Avery Dennison and Venture Tape.
- Is it new?
No, in fact a number of vehicle manufacturers have been applying Paint Protection Film to small areas of vehicles for more than 10 years.
- What parts of my vehicle can be covered?
Any painted area requiring protection from abrasions, rock chips etc. can be protected. Pre-Cut kits are most commonly available for areas that may receive damage such as the hood, fenders, frontal bumper areas, and mirrors.
- Will it turn yellow? What is the warranty?
3M warrants their film for a period of 2 years. Venture Tape has a lifetime warranty against turning yellow.
- Will the paint under the film fade differently from the rest of the vehicle?
The Paint Protection Film contains only enough UV inhibitors that keep the film from turning yellow; this allows the paint under the film to fade evenly with the rest of your vehicle.
- How easily will it peel off?
The material has a strong adhesive to help keep it firmly attached to your vehicle. In the event you decide to remove the film, an easy release system is activated by stretching the film until the adhesive begins to release. Once the film is removed, the same material cannot be reused.
- Is any special care required for my Paint Protection Kit?
Paint Protection Film should be cared for in the same way you would care for the paint on your vehicle. The product can be washed and waxed along with the rest of the vehicle. If any wax residue remains at the edge of the film it can be removed with a soft bristled toothbrush. If you use a high pressure wash to clean your vehicle, you should keep the high pressure nozzle at least 5 inches from the edge of the film to prevent lifting of the edge.
- How is it installed?
Paint Protection Film should be installed by a professional installation center. A professional installer will apply the sheets of Paint Protection Film using a special application solution and special application tools to ensure a clean, clear, bubble-free installation that will last for many years.
- How much is it?
Paint Protection Film kits vary based on how much coverage is required for your specific vehicle. Generally speaking, the cost to protect the hood and fenders is between $250 and $300. The cost to protect the entire front end of a vehicle with a full painted front bumper can be as much as $700 depending on the amount of coverage required. Pre-Cut kits are also available for some vehicles to protect the rocker panels down the side of the entire vehicle.
