Paint protection film for painted vehicle surfaces

Paint protection film is used on selected painted areas exposed to mechanical stress. Manufacturer information identifies door edges, sills, wheel arches and bumpers as possible locations. The specific film still determines what is suitable: its shape must fit the part, and the paint and clearcoat system and expected exposure must match its intended use. Discuss the area and required coverage before choosing material on a roll or a preformed part.

Suitability for a curved surface depends on the particular film and the shape of the part. Manufacturer information describes good conformability on flat and slightly curved surfaces for certain paint protection films. That does not establish suitability for every contour. Tell us about the shape, edges and processing steps so that we can assess the material and a possible cut shape or die-cut part.

No. This has to be checked for the specific product and application. Manufacturer information also lists permanent paint protection films. Protection of a painted area proves neither a particular service life nor residue-free removal. State the intended duration, paint and clearcoat system, and what a later replacement would require. Only then can the suitability of a particular version be assessed.

Describe the painted area to be protected, its geometry, the paint and clearcoat system, and the expected exposure. For converting, we also need the required shape or roll dimensions and your processing steps. Krückemeyer GmbH can cut suitable films to size or supply die-cut parts. We assess whether the material and supplied form fit your application against these specific requirements.
