To Satin PPF or Not... Help...

yes

 

looks great and good price too. Very "car show" like.

 

LOL. I will be soon.

 

Well made the decision and making the leap. Getting the PPF. They start on Monday and will take about 2 weeks.

 

2 weeks work for 1500 ? good deal

 

Is that sarcasm???

 

No. Knowing what shops charge for labor and the duration of the work, you are getting a great deal.

 

Yeah there is a lot of work. They already have done a ton on doing the PDR to remove all the hail damage and my truck looks good as new. Now this... Normally about 5-6k for something this size.

 

We'll be waiting for pictures!

 

Shes being pieced back together.

 

Damn that looks pretty nice man. And that's a great deal!!!

 

If I knew someone who would do mine satin on the magnetic grey I would in a heartbeat for $1500

 

I hate this forum! Ive been spending all my money on my cycling hobby and then I see something like this and now I want to sell a kidney to dump more money into my truck.

 

This is going to look badass my friend!!!!!!

 

So dumb question do they have to remove the badges or do they cut the vinyl around badges ?

 

It's going to look great! That's a great deal.

 

Awww shieet!! Gonna look BA! I want to do this down the road after the paint starts to show the abuse

 

I can't wait to see what will no doubt be the source of my wife's new frustration with me for "wasting" money on my new truck. You know you are causing me real strife over here, right? haha

 

Sexy ask your buddy where I can buy the vinyl wrap I wouldn't mind trying to do this myself in sections

 

I was told your truck and paint should be perfect or near perfect to wrap it. So the trick is, wrap it now, keep it for 7 years, then strip it off and you'll have near new paint for the next 7

 

I think you meant to quote @Royalpeeps my friend....

But I am with you, I thought about it myself. It looks easier to work with compared to clear paint protection film (which I have done myself) or tint, but there are a lot of curves and body pieces that I could see being difficult and very time consuming to do perfectly.

 

Heck no

 

Ask you buddy where to buy sheets of this stuff and did he remove badging or leave on and cut around it ?

 

Badges were removed. And this is XPel Stealth so I would think you can buy it straight from XPel.

 

Yes the PPF is very difficult to work with. That's why he still has my truck. He is a perfectionist which is awesome cause he is gonna take his time and get it perfect. His issue right now is doing the section where the door handles are. This stuff isn't like vinyl where you can heat it and push it into places like this. You have to slowly work it into the section. He had one door done perfect. One of the others he didn't like how the section looked and he removed it and doing it over again.

 

This isn't vinyl wrap. This is XPel Stealth Paint Protection Film. Better protection than vinyl and you can still keep your paint color. The one I am having put on is the stealth. Gives it a satin look but they do have Clear.

 

LMAO. Sorry bro. I know how you feel.
