Paint protection film

[Imran999]

Has anyone done complete panels of their Cerb in PPF?

I want to get the whole car done, but i'm not aware of any of the film suppliers who offer patterns for the full car.

Cutting from bulk film is certainly possible, but can be tricky (ends up in the inevitable paint scoring while trimming).

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

Funnily enough I went to a Porsche owners club event (had a shower when I got home ) with a mate yesterday at Azuri Car Care in Stevenage. The event was to promote, amongst other things, Xpel paint protection film.

I got talking to the Xpel sales director who advised that they have patterns for the Cerb, rather than other companies who stretch and cut on the car.

Hope this helps

Although Xpel as used by Paintshield was very good at stopping some paint chips of the front end .. it will not stop a "brick" . But I found the most disappointing thing was after 4/5 years it has gone opaque looking... It doesn't polish as well as paint fortunately I have two front ends for my Tuscan and I now I have the non-paintshield one on . I've even pulled the shielding off in some places... and the paint has stayed fixed .. one day I'll be brave enough to remove it from the spare inspection bonnet . I reckon a front end respray every 5 years is a better/cheaper option in hindsight .

Or just get your paint Ceramic coated.. It does offer scratch protection.

I’ve had my Cerb and my Porsche done , can’t rate it high enough , easy to clean and the paintwork has an extra shine to it at the same time I have a peace of mind that the paintwork has a dam good bit of protection, no more holograms and if it scratches you just pour hot water on and it’s gone !!!!

My car came with this on all the forward facing panels and i have essentially no stone chips on a 20 year old car. So it looks like a very good idea.

(Actually there is one stone chip about an inch above where the film stops on the bonnet).
