QUOTE(a.h.wan @ Aug 4 2016, 04:43 PM) full body wrapping is good - on an expensive car. unless want to change color. coating on paint is not worth IMO. i coat just a tiny area of glossy plastic at my b-pillar because that part is black and annoyingly easy to get scratched. anyway, just want some opinion. is front bumper wrap for white car recommended? afraid that the color will not age nicely - bumper looks newer than body. then again, front part is really hard to take care of. Yes, if you have a nice new car it would definitely be recommended. Stonechips on black/white paint is very obvious. However, if your car already got stonechips then no point wrapping it anymore. Front wrapping from minimal Bumper Only > Bikini (Bumper + half front bonnet) > Full hood (Bumper+Full front bonnet) Bikini is ugly as you can see a clear line. If you car is low (not suv) then full bonnet is recommended as the lower car are more prone to stonechips on front bonnet. |

QUOTE(kluseng @ Aug 5 2016, 06:29 AM) How do you appreciate the beauty of your car by wrapping it up? It's like wearing a raincoat when you take a shower. Well, at least the next owner will benefit. We talking about clear film. Not those colour matte/gloss wrap. |

Anybody knows what's the rough cost of fully wrapping a car with self healing PPF ?
Getting a new car with black paint, and bird poop is a frequent nuisance that leaves a permanent mark on my cars.
Thanks!
Thanks!

My dad's 2014 CRV had LLumar PPF on his headlights and until today (6 years) there is no sign of crack so no worries. I'm planning to do PPF as well probably end of July. Check this out (Magnus Pro PPF) and this is for small suv.  |
