Hi Guys - I'm close to placing an order for a new Caterham kit build and the dealer has offered a paint protection service which I am likely to take up.

I've not had PPF or decals on cars before so I just wondered if I should get PPF done first and then decals over the top or vice versa? I read (long time ago) that some people have had problems with bubbles around the edges of stripes and lettering on Caterhams?

Any thoughts and advice welcome,
Thanks.

Just had a full PPF kit on a new car. The film on the sides covered the stripes and Caterham letters with no issues. On the bonnet stripes which were black carbon fibre stripes I decided to have the film cut either side of them as the bonnet stripes seemed to be quite thick.

I've ordered PPF along with the painted bonnet stripe and nosecone on my 310R, but I was told that if I wanted PPF and the double bonnet stripe that they'd put the PPF on before the decals...
