What is Paint Protection Film?

Paint Protection Film (PPF), also known as clear bra or paint film, is a transparent, thin layer of polyurethane material that is applied to the painted surfaces of vehicles to protect them from various forms of damage. It's designed to provide a barrier against common sources of damage such as stone chips, road debris, scratches, bird droppings, bug splatters, and other environmental factors that can harm a vehicle's paintwork.​​

Why should I have PPF installed on my Motorcycle?

  • Protection against Physical Damage: PPF acts as a sacrificial layer that absorbs the impact of small debris, road salt, stones, bugs, and other objects that can cause scratches, chips, and dings on your vehicle's paint. This helps to maintain the appearance of your motorcycle and can prevent costly paint repairs.

  • Preservation of Resale Value: A well-maintained motorcycle can significantly impact the resale value of your bike. By keeping your motorcycle paint in pristine condition, PPF can help retain its value by preventing unsightly damage that might otherwise lower the resale value.

  • UV Protection: Prolonged exposure to sunlight and UV radiation can cause fading and deterioration of your motorcycle's paint over time. PPF typically includes UV inhibitors that help shield the paint from these damaging effects, helping to maintain the colour and finish of your bike.

  • Ease of Cleaning: PPF has a smooth, clear surface that resists dirt, debris, and water spots. This makes it easier to clean your motorcycle and keeps it looking cleaner for longer periods.

  • Self-Healing Properties which means that minor scratches and swirls in the film can "heal" themselves when exposed to heat, such as from the sun or a heat gun. This feature helps keep the film looking clear and free of minor imperfections.

  • Custom Fit: PPF is typically custom-cut to fit the specific contours of your motorcycle, ensuring a nearly invisible protective layer that doesn't detract from the aesthetics of your motorcycle.

  • Longevity: Quality PPF is designed to be durable and long-lasting. When applied and cared for properly, it can provide protection for many years, helping to extend the life of your motorcycle's paint.

  • Aesthetic Enhancement: PPF can enhance the appearance of your motorcycle by providing a glossy or satin, clear layer that can make your paintwork appear more vibrant and rich.

  • Cost Savings: While the upfront cost of installing PPF might seem high, it can potentially save you money in the long run by preventing the need for frequent paint repairs and touch-ups.

  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your motorcycle's paint is protected against various potential sources of damage can give you peace of mind while driving, especially on highways or in areas with harsh road conditions.

Tank or Full Protection?

 

Whether Paint Protection Film (PPF) is installed just to protect the fuel tank from only £150.00 or you opt to have Full Protection PPF from only £450.00, we can ensure your bike is protected the best way possible. Call now on 07570 236376 for more info! 

(please note that 'Full Protection' does not equate to 100% total coverage of the bike in PPF. Unlike cars, the heat generated by a motorcycles engine transfers to the fairing creating hotspots. This can result in PPF de-laminating if that area was covered. Therefore, PPF is applied to the areas at the highest risk from stone chips etc.)

What type of warranty come's with the PPF?

 

We offer a 12-month guarantee for the installation of the PPF. In regards to the PPF longevity itself, this depends on many factors including the condition of your local roads, your driving habits, and how much you value the appearance and long-term condition of your vehicle.

For example, if your motorcycle is only used for fair-weather riding in only the summer months and is correctly cared for, then the PPF will last for years. However, if the bike is used as a daily commuter all year around and used for long road trips regularly, then the PPF should be replaced every 12-24 months and treated as a sacrificial layer that protects your bike.

Either way, if you're looking to invest in the protection of your vehicle's paint, PPF can be a worthwhile consideration and we are more than happy to discuss your needs in detail and find the best solution for you.
