Should I repaint the car before applying film if it's scratched?

[Gomez]

You should repaint, otherwise the rust and damage will spread. The benefits of car film are as follows: 1. Reduce high temperatures in the car from sun exposure: During intense sun exposure, especially in summer, people dread getting into a hot car. Car film can block 40% or more of the heat, significantly lowering the interior temperature, avoiding direct sunlight, improving comfort, and reducing air conditioning energy consumption. 2. Enhance privacy inside the car: Car film has excellent one-way visibility. Through multiple physical reflections, it forms a certain proportion of external reflectivity on the film's surface. From the outside, the interior appears visually reflective, making it hard to see inside, thereby greatly enhancing privacy. 3. Increase vehicle safety: Given that car film provides privacy, it also prevents items inside the car from being easily spotted by criminals, reducing the risk of break-ins. High-quality car films like Yatigo have strong adhesion, preventing window glass from shattering and flying during collisions, which could otherwise worsen injuries to passengers.
