Exploring Colored Paint Protection Film: What It Is and How It Works

If you are familiar with paint protection film then you already know all of the great benefits that it offers for protecting your vehicle.

If you aren't let us give you a brief overview:

Paint protection film is a thin polyurethane film that is applied onto vehicles to protect the paint from scratches, contaminants, road hazards, stains and much more. Paint protection film is applied through a wet application. The process of installing paint protection film starts when we receive the car and do a full inspection of the paint and condition of the vehicle. Once assessed we give the vehicle a deep clean and decontaminate the paint using a Clay Bar. If the owner is interested or if the vehicle requires it, at this point we touch up any rock chips already existing in the areas where the PPF will be applied. Once the paint is dialed in we begin the careful process of applying the PPF one panel at a time. Once installed and dried, PPF become a shield for your paint that when scratched can self-heal due to it's self healing properties. These properties can be activated with something as simple as a hair dryer or over time with the sun.

Colored paint protection is installed in the same manner and is composed of the same polyurethane film but, unlike clear PPF, it is infused with color. With special attention paid to the brilliance of each color while retaining the integrity of its polyurethane construction, colored paint protection film is a great choice to protect your vehicle. Colored paint protection film also retains the self-healing properties like normal paint protection film.

Colored paint protection film is harder to install than normal paint protection film and much harder than vinyl wraps. Vinyl wraps are much thinner and are a dry install whist paint protection film is a wet install. Colored paint protection is thicker and should only be installed by experienced professionals.

We believe that this is the future of vehicle restyling! If you want to restyle your vehicle without missing out on the benefits of protection your original paint, Color PPF is the right film for you.
