Can a repainted car still have a paint protection film applied?
1 Answers
Repainted cars can have paint protection films applied, but there are both advantages and disadvantages to applying an invisible paint protection film after a car has been repainted. Advantages: First, car owners must understand that repainted areas differ from the original factory paint in terms of aging speed, hardness, and other factors. Typically, color differences become noticeable after about a year (especially on white cars). The purpose of an invisible paint protection film is to prevent scratches, block external corrosion, and shield against UV radiation from the sun. This effectively compensates for the flaws in the repainted areas, eliminating concerns about color discrepancies. Disadvantages: Although the paint protection film safeguards the car's paint, it doesn't completely prevent all scratches. When the film suffers irreparable damage, it must be removed. However, because the adhesion of repainted areas may be poor (depending on the type of paint and the painting process), there is a chance that removing the film could also strip off the paint, ultimately damaging the car's finish.
