Install Partial Car Paint Protection Film Quickly and Affordably

Install Partial Car Paint Protection Film Quickly and Affordably

Car protection measures have gone far beyond wax procedures and window tint. Today, you can protect your car paint with a special coating. Paint protection film (PPF) is a thin polyurethane skin that’s applied to automotive paint to protect it from the damage caused by debris on the road – marks, scratches, dents and the like. If you recognize the benefits of installing paint protection film but don’t have enough money to wrap an entire car, then partial PPF installation on the most exposed parts of your car is the next best thing! This approach will help you save the budget and protect your car paint from scratching and discoloring. For a free estimate, contact Tinting Chicago today at 773-455-0467 or 312-212-0493.

Install Partial Car Paint Protection Film Quickly and Affordably

Partial PPF protection

The paint protection film is a reliable solution and the most effective way to keep a car’s paint bright and intact. PPF or a clear bra lasts for up to 7 years and can be applied to the painted surface of all types of cars. It can be applied to any part of a vehicle, be it a hood or door edge, to ensure that its paintwork remains as pristine as the day it rolled out of the car showroom. Certain parts of vehicles are more prone to damage from road debris, scratches, and environmental dirt. But covered by a paint protection film, they become more durable. PPF protects each covered detail by increasing their resistance to outer factors.

Is there an alternative to the whole vehicle paint protection film?

If you’re budget-restricted and cannot afford to invest in a full clear bra to protect all the surface of your car, you can cover its front end, door edges and other most vulnerable areas. When it comes to money, it may be reasonable to cover individual parts, such as the bumper, the door edge, the fenders, the hood, side mirrors, or rocker panels.

Common car paint damage to avoid with partial PPF

Even if a full clear bra has its undeniable advantages, partial protection can also save you money and help avoid a plethora of minor issues. It is especially crucial for a new car which you want to resale in the future at a good price. Thus partial PPF installation will allow customers to forget about:

  • Light scratches 
  • Acids
  • Bug splatter
  • Tree sap
  • UV exposure (sun damage)
  • Bird droppings

Paint protection film comes clear and will not affect the appearance of flat surfaces of your car, but will seriously minimize potential damage.

What are the most risk-exposed vehicle parts?

These are the front bumper, the front of the hood, the door edge and front fenders. Installed PPF protection and window tint will safeguard these areas from environmental hazards and contaminants, preserving the original look of the paint.

Partial PPF cost

A partial car paint protection film costs between $500 and $2,500. The exact cost depends on the following variables::

  • Parts of the car covered
  • The brand of PPF used
  • Complexity of vehicle
  • Skill of installer

What is better – entrust PPF installation procedure to professionals or DIY?

It is recommended to opt for a qualified team to install PPF protection. Experts have all the tools and expertise needed to process a pre cut PPF kit flawlessly and please customers with high-quality results.

Parts of a vehicle most commonly covered in partial PPF

You cannot predict what particular place will suffer from chips, bugs or bird poop as these can appear from all directions. But still, some areas are more exposed to potential damage than the rest of the car. So the following areas are vital to additionally protect:

  • Hood
  • Bumpers
  • Fenders
  • Side mirrors
  • Door trips
  • Wheel arches

So if you are considering only partial paint protection as an alternative to a full clear bra, prioritize the listed parts for PPF covering.

What is a partial front end PPF car package?

Partial Front PPF means protecting the most vulnerable sections of vehicles. Generally, it involves safeguarding the front bumper, approximately 18 inches of the hood, and both front fenders. Such a measure ensures defense against a wide range of road debris and typical driving circumstances.

What is full front PPF car package?

An all-inclusive front PPF package provides extensive protection for the entire front portion of a vehicle. It encompasses the front bumper, the entire hood, both full front fenders, the mirror backs, and the front headlamps. Whenever feasible, the edges are carefully wrapped, ensuring no visible lines or seams disrupt the middle of the panels. Opting for this package is an excellent choice to safeguard the complete front area of a car.

Timeframes for partial PPF installations

One of the benefits of paint protection film is that it is surprisingly quick to install if the job is undertaken by professionals. A clear bra installation process takes 1-2 days to cover any car model. Therefore, half a day is usually enough to cover selected areas of a vehicle.

How long will it take to apply partial protective film at Tinting Chicago?

With hundreds of vehicles being serviced and covered with a clear bra, company experts will usually need a couple of hours to wrap your car with partial film protection.

The lifespan of a partial clear bra

When correctly looked after, high-quality paint protection films last as long as 7 years. Car paint protection film requires no specific maintenance, but a PPF-covered vehicle must be hand washed, avoiding using abrasive cloths or brushes on the film. Only top brands in the industry can guarantee the quality of their PPFs. At Tinting Chicago, we work with XPEL, which manufactures one of the strongest, most durable paint films with ultimate protective properties.

What is the lifespan of XPEL pain protection films?

This manufacturer is known for the durability and longevity of its protective film. High-quality films purchased from XPEL can last up to even 10 years after professional installation.

Self-healing property of the PPF

A clear bra is extremely durable and offers excellent rock chip protection for factory paint. However, flying stone chips and other road debris will still create unsightly dents and swirl marks in the top layer of your protective film.

These days, many manufacturers of high-end paint protection film use self-healing technology. It means that minor damages can be repaired right in the garage with hot water or heat from a heat gun. This process activates the elastomeric polymers in the film bringing its surface back to its smooth state.

Does XPEL paint protection film include a self-healing feature?

XPEL paint protection film comes with a special top layer which is a self-healing polymer, allowing the film to repair itself from scratching marks at ambient temperature. The process is DIY and is sped up under the influence of hot temperatures.

DIY pre cut purchased PPF kit

Today, you can find a variety of DIY paint film protection kits to apply protective shields to various vehicles at home. But even if you have the right tools and the whole DIY installation process seems to be fairly easy, the PPF install procedure requires certain skills and expertise. It is not enough to have a spacious garage and all the to stick the film properly. Even the slightest particles of dust, sand or dirt can lead to a painful outcome. Without knowing the technique basics, you will easily spoil the most expensive DIY paint film protection kit.

Is that possible to buy pre cut paint film protection kits?

You will find plenty of protection kit options on the market for DIY PPF installation. In most cases, these come as pre cut PPF kits and other kits. You do not need to custom cut anything to provide an ideal match of paint protection film to your vehicle, in particular to the hood, a pillars, door and other parts. However, without due experience and proper installation tools, it is a high chance to fail the job even if kits are purchased from top manufacturers. Consider professionals to wrap your new car with paint protection film for the best outcome.

Frequently
Asked Questions

A vehicle’s paint isn’t damaged at all when paint protection film is removed, so long as it’s done carefully, using the correct tools. Once a vehicle has been washed down following removal, there will also be no traces of acrylic adhesive left on the original paint.

Applying a ceramic coating to paint protection film won’t damage it in any way and the ceramic coating will still form a hydrophobic layer making washing and drying your vehicle a whole lot quicker.

No, even PPF with ‘self-healing’ properties won’t be able to heal existing scratches, only protect from future damage. To guarantee the best possible finish, it’s advisable to get any damage to your paintwork repaired before you install a clear bra on your paintwork.
