Protection Meets Personalization

What do you get when you combine the benefits of 3M Paint Protection Film and 3M Vinyl Wrap Film Series 2080? 3M Protection Wrap Films, of course! In other words, Color PPF.

Now, there is an all-in-one film that serves clients seeking to personalize their vehicle through color change while protecting the underlying paint from road rash. No longer is a double film application, consisting of paint protection film on top of color wrap film, required. 3M Protection Wrap Films is an all-in-one film that combines the benefits of PPF and vinyl wrap.

Goes on fast for looks that last.

Coverage Options

Like paint protection film and color change vinyl, there are multiple levels of coverage with 3M Protection Wrap Films. Typical installation areas include:

Protection Wrap Films are so versatile that they can be installed on all or part of a vehicle. They’re perfect for accent stripes on hoods, roofs, trunks, rocker panels, and side view mirrors. And speaking of roofs, 3M’s Gloss Black can be used to simulate the high gloss black look associated with certain makes and models.

Color Selection

3M produces its Protection Wrap Films in multiple colors and finishes, such as Gloss, Matte, and Color Flips. With an ever-expanding palette consisting of whites, blacks, blues, grays, greens, reds, yellows, and more, 3M offers motorists colorful ways to personalize and protect their vehicles.

How 3M Protection Wrap Films Get Their Color

3M employs a sophisticated manufacturing process to produce an all-in-one film that combines the benefits of paint protection film and color change vinyl. Unlike other color paint protection films that are made by laminating urethane on top of a colored layer, 3M Protection Wrap Films get their color from pigmentation. That means the color is embedded in the urethane for stability and longevity.

Vinyl Wrap vs. 3M Protection Wrap Film

Some installers and end-users feel that vinyl wrap film, given its thinner nature, isn’t as durable as paint protection film and is also more difficult to maintain. That’s simply because vinyl behaves differently than urethane, which is the base material of PPF.

3M Protection Wrap Film (PWF) addresses that client concern because its base material is urethane, which is more durable and easier to maintain than vinyl. You can treat PWF just like you treat your car’s paint. That is because PWF is clear coated, just like paint and 3M’s paint protection films. Light scratches that occur under normal driving conditions can self-heal or be worked out easily with heat. And unlike most vinyl color change films, 3M PWF is backed by a ten (10) year manufacturer’s warranty.

Installation

3M Protection Wrap Film is a dry apply film just like Vinyl Wrap Film Series 2080. Two 3M patented adhesive technologies facilitate the installation process. First, 3M Controltac minimizes the tackiness of the film’s adhesive to allow the technician to position the material correctly on the vehicle. Only with pressure from the technician’s squeegee will the film tack to the underlying substrate. Second, 3M’s Comply adhesive allows for easy air release to help ensure a bubble-free installation.

Protection Wrap Film is cold stretch capable, meaning it conforms to most vehicular curves and recesses using minimal to no heat. And because Protection Wrap Films are dry apply, the installer does not need to wait to wrap the film around various surface edges.
