Advantages of Paint Protection Film

There are several different methods available for protecting the paint on our cars, including chemical sealers, car bras, and temporary paint protection film. Each has their advantages and disadvantages, and not every solution is right for every circumstance. But let's take a look specifically at temporary protection film and talk about some of the benefits of using it. You might find it to be the best choice for your vehicle and your budget. If not, you're always free to investigate the other options.

Flexibility

Perhaps the strongest selling point of temporary paint protection film is the fact that it is flexible. You can apply it to any paint surface you feel is vulnerable to damage from rocks, debris, and whatnot. Where a car bra is only good for your grill and hood, film can be applied to the area under the doors, around door handles, around the gas cap, and so on. And because you cut it to fit, you can utilize any shape for the specific areas you're covering. You can even use it on your headlights!

It's Temporary

If you're the kind of person who likes to tinker and play with your vehicle on a regular basis, chemical sealers can be more expensive than they're worth. This is especially true if part of your tinkering includes regular bodywork. A protective film, on the other hand, is temporary by design. If you apply a kit this year, to get you through the winter, and next summer you decide to add some racing stripes, you can remove the film without damaging the paint surface. Then you're ready to put down your racing stripes and apply new film. With chemical sealers there is a lot more hassle involved.

Good Looks

Chemical paint sealers almost always do a great job at making your paint look great. But when it comes to car bras, some people think they're just downright ugly. They may look fairly decent on your average sports car, but on a family sedan that might not be the case. With temporary paint protection film you get the same benefits but with a better look. And because temporary films are transparent, they make an already great paint job look even better.

Cost

Finally, one of the other big advantages of temporary paint protection film is its overall cost. Chemical sealers usually need to be applied by professionals which could run you several thousand dollars. While it makes for excellent protection, you may not have that kind of money lying around. Car bras are expensive as well, ranging from a few hundred dollars to several thousand depending on the model that you purchase. For the amount of protection you get from temporary paint protection film, it is very reasonably priced.
