Is it worth getting Paint Protection Film??? (e.g. Ventureshield)

[nardini]

Hi Guys,
Had comlete front bumper,bonnet,front lights,top of rear bumper and door strips expertly installed by Invisible Car Bras.(0419435427) ask for James.
It's virtually invisible.Was installed at dealership prior to pickup.Worth every cent.$785

Can anyone recommend a company in Perth to install this?

Hey R34,

I havent had it on a car yet but had Perth Graphics Centre fit it to my motorbike 6 months ago and it is still going strong. no issues to report. He spent the whole day custom cutting and fitting pieces for the bike that I wanted protected.

I am getting it put on my new Golf by PCG when it arrives in the next week or so.

Ask for Tony and tell him Justin recommended you, it may get you a better deal!

Thanks Justin
Wish I'd known about them before I got some huge stonechips on my bike last month

R34 bet it was on the front forks hey! My bike has heaps of film on it and the majority is invisible unless you look for it!

Also mine came with free paint protection, not really much help against stone chips but easier to get droppings off the paint etc. Just don't want to cover it up, but the film does stain very quickly if you get bird/bat droppings and the finish isn't as nice as the other normal painted panels.

Paint protection is just sealant that costs under $30 at waxit and other suppliers. It's no better or worse than a good coat of wax and contrary to their claims needs to be reapplied and maintained.

PPF is worth every cent, you can feel how many times it's been hit by stones and saved your paint.

Just dont know i need it again as i only got about one stone chip on the last car in two years.. also the film is more obvious on a white car than other colours and not sure how it would go over the other protection stuff.

d not sure how it would go over the other protection stuff.

According to James @ Invisible Car Bras, it doesn't. Paint needs to be stripped of all waxes and sealants in order to ensure a good seal between the clear coat and the PPF.

Yeah - but they do that as part of their application process anyway - using a water / isopropyl alcohol solution.
