Can 2080 be applied to an older, rusted, or repaired vehicle?

All wrap films, including 3M 2080 Wrap Film Series, should be applied to a “like new” vehicle finish for the best results. 3M’s warranty only applies to vehicles that have an excellent bond of the paint and its finish to the vehicle substrate. Any rust, bubbling, scratches, dents, or other damage will be visible through the film, and such imperfections may damage the film or cause the film to fail prematurely. Areas repaired with body filler must be sanded, epoxy primed, and, for best results, finished with an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) paint or clear coat. Any recently applied finish must be fully cured according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions before film is applied.
