What are the pros and cons of paint protection film?
1 Answers
Paint protection film offers benefits such as superior abrasion resistance, exceptional durability, colorless transparency, and protection against damage and corrosion, but it also has drawbacks like high cost and limited protection in major accidents. The characteristics and functions of paint protection film include excellent elasticity, which determines whether the film can perfectly adhere to the car body, given the varying curvatures across different parts of the vehicle. Top-tier brands like UPPF use TPU material for their paint protection films. Pros of paint protection film: Superior abrasion resistance and toughness ensure high wear resistance, effectively protecting against minor scratches, impacts, and long-term wear. Exceptional durability enhances the car's gloss by 5%-20%, maintaining stability for typically three to five years without issues. It effectively prevents chemical corrosion, perfectly preserving the original paint while enhancing its brightness, combining protection with aesthetic appeal. Cons of paint protection film: It is generally expensive. In major accidents, the film's protective capability is limited, though it can add some external toughness. During damage assessment, the cost of the film may increase repair expenses. It's advisable to purchase additional equipment insurance after applying the film.
