What else do you guys want to know about PPF or Vinyl Wraps???

[@mountainmantesla4395]

What about doing a satin vinyl charcoal over a grey Tesla and then going over the bra area with a PPF over the top? Can that be done? I don't want rock chips on the front. I live in the mountains and they sand the roads and it is bad. My first model Y I got a chip about every 2 weeks.

[@BlackoutTinting]

So wondering if you can ppf over vinyl basically? Yes you can!

[@littlefeettarot2372]

How long does PPF compared to vinyl wrap? I've heard vinyl wrap can damage paint if left on more than three years. Does PPF have the same life or can it be left on longer? Also, what's the price point difference?

[@BlackoutTinting]

The PPF we install has a 10 year warranty. Vinyl doesn’t have one. Both can damage paint when removing but it isn’t too often that it happens, they’re both just a pain to remove when they get old.

[@littlefeettarot2372]

Will PPF apply to a basic Maaco paint job? It does have a clearcoat. (Asking for a friend) 👀.

[@tljonesgmail]

Great simple explanation! Keep up the good content!

[@BlackoutTinting]

Thank you. Have a great day sir.

[@jaepak2435]

Very informative. Can you do a combo of PPF (front/high risk areas) and vinyl (low impact areas but better coverage) and have it look consistent?

[@BlackoutTinting]

THEORETICALLY, probably. We might not be in to odd jobs enough to do it though.

[@johndough3940]

I learned today that there is a thing called a stealth finish paint protection film, I'm going to have to research more about that, my number 1 question is, how does it clean and dry? are water spots an issue or rub marks from uneven drying with a cloth/towel? Thanks for making this video.

[@BlackoutTinting]

It cleans well! Much easier to take care off than matte paint or vinyl in our opinion. It self heals like normal ppf as well. No rub marks, no issues with water spotting.

[@howtobeautylauren]

I would take your advice on Vinyl. How many gold options and pink options? Is the silver mirror wrap legal? What do you think of the diamond/ rhinestone look, are those vinyl?

[@BlackoutTinting]

We can pretty much get any Gold or Pink you'd like. The Chrome style wraps are pretty much illegal because they can blind and distract other drivers. Just like you can't drive with underglow on or have too bright of headlights. We haven't done anything in diamond/rhinestone yet.

[@CS-yz2do]

What camera did you guys use to record this video? Quality is amazing.

[@BlackoutTinting]

sony a7siii with 20mm f1.8 lens

[@SRC503]

Thank you very informative . I want to get into this industry. What professional training course should I take first from 3M paint protective film, or vinyl wrap?

[@BlackoutTinting]

Find a local wrap training, hands on is very helpful if you are new.

[@SRC503]

@@BlackoutTinting yes I want to do hands on training, what I’m asking is which one you recommend to train first. I have option to train PPF OR Vinyl wrap

[@BlackoutTinting]

Well considering we don’t install vinyl anymore.. the choice is simple. PPF

[@SRC503]

@@BlackoutTinting awesome thank you.

[@drbenirusani]

Nice! if I want to change my BMW 3 series "Sunset Orange" colour to something more of BMW's natural OEM blue finishes. Which type of wrapping material would you recommend? -- new fan from Malaysia.

[@BlackoutTinting]

Most wrap companies have similar colors but if you want something really specific you will have to find that brand. We like 3m, kpmf and Avery.

[@drbenirusani]

@@BlackoutTinting awesome thank you!

[@BlackoutTinting]

You’re welcome Beni my friend

[@sgtseenoaction]

Thanks for the video. What’s the difference in cost for both?

[@BlackoutTinting]

The vinyl is going to probably be a little cheaper unless you want to do door jambs and other areas to completely hide the paint, but the ppf has the self healing properties.

[@matsetizar65]

Which is better at repelling the sun’s heat? Planning to have a white coloured roof only wrap.

[@JustxLiving909]

Did you find which one does I’m in Vegas heat killing me

[@AMS_Enzo]

Wanting to black out the roof on my white car. Should I get black PPF or Black vinyl wrap. I have a sunroof and shark fin. Wanting it to last long as possible and the car sits outside and driven all year round what should I go with?

[@BlackoutTinting]

Black PPF, no doubt about it folks. Use a shop that can get close with their edges to make it look god and it’ll look like paint.

[@DominoSixO]

From personal experience I did the mistake and bought Satin black vinyl the thickest one and i bought it for protection, guess what, after a week on high way behind other cars who split small rocks, my front had rock chips already and the entire small area had a hole in the vinyl, that's the down side, it looks amazing but bad for protection. Another down side of vinyl, I unwrapped my entire car and the paint came off with it :D no joke, had to repaint my car. Regret it a bit for the same price of the vinyl and paint job i could buy and wrap my own car myself with the PPF

[@BlackoutTinting]

yikes.. that sucks. Color change PPF technology is getting much better. Vinyl is basically just for looks if we're being honest.

[@duanemari11]

With newer vinyl wraps what is the how long with they last on a garaged car that rarely sees street use?

[@BlackoutTinting]

We've seen them last 5 years if they are well kept.

[@marc_svsengineering4319]

Mine is over 6 years with Vvivid vinyl and I live in Alaska (not garage kept but is parked in a car port). Starting to notice some lifting in the door creases but that maybe because of the installer (me). I do have a tear caused by someone scraping their car door into mine (about the size of a quarter). I would rate most vinyls from 5 to 10 years depending on the elements, type of finish on the original vehicle and how often you drive (highway)

[@anthonydargenio3536]

I have a car with factory flat black paint on the hood roof and trunk lid. After the PPF is removed will the adhesive damage the factory flat black paint ? Thanks

[@BlackoutTinting]

it varies from car to car... I think the paint that is most prone to removing paint is Mclaren

[@TheUnknown-mg8fv]

If wrapped does it has to be in garage instead the street for longer last?

[@BlackoutTinting]

vinyl can not take the abuse that ppf was designed to take.

[@25kurtcobain]

What would a gloss black ppf cost for wrapping an already black 2008 corvette?

[@BlackoutTinting]

That's a great question, depends on the shop but probably around 7k-10k. We've never done a whole care in black ppf yet, just stripes and roofs and piano black trim..

[@Godzson35]

What brand of vinyl has a Satin Black that matches the Stealth ppf the closest?

[@BlackoutTinting]

This is a great question, we might have to do a short on that.

[@Godzson35]

@@BlackoutTinting Yes please! 🙏🏿

[@jupiterslight7746]

I’m thinking of starting a PPF business , how much money and what are some tips do I need to know before I start wrapping cars ?

[@BlackoutTinting]

Watch a ton of KZbin content on it, buy some film and start practicing on your own vehicle before you start telling customers you can protect theirs.

[@jupiterslight7746]

@@BlackoutTinting thx man ❤️

[@futbolista13]

How long does the wrap last, is it monthly or yearly maintenance?

[@BlackoutTinting]

There's no warranty on them, most shops would claim 2-3 years of daily driving but if well cared for then longer. One of the guys at our shop is going on 5+ on his I believe.

[@projectbigbike9773]

How about putting both vinyl wrap and paint protectin film?

[@BlackoutTinting]

You can protect as much or as little of a vinyl wrap too. Color change PPF is getting more popular too.

[@omarcaban9917]

Does the ppf damage paint in time ?

[@BlackoutTinting]

sometimes it can pull paint, but most cases it is fine

[@wskim5526]

How much price difference is in both? If I wanna go Vinyl I would go with base color pearl white to save my wallet. If I go to PPF, I would go MSM. Can you tell me?

[@BlackoutTinting]

You'd probably save around $3,000 depending on the vehicle type and what MSM means.

[@wskim5526]

@@BlackoutTinting Vinyl is cheaper right? which will last longer? MSM is midnight silver metallic color lol.

[@BlackoutTinting]

Depends on the shop for pricing. Some are all over the place. Vinyl should be like half the price. The PPF usually has a 10 year warranty and self heals, unlike vinyl.

[@marc_svsengineering4319]

@@wskim5526 Vinyl is a lot cheaper and if you plan to do it yourself, you can get the vinyl online from the manufacture. PPF is not available to consumers unless a shop (business) is willing to sell it to you. For an average sedan vehicle, plan for about 50-55 foot roll extra for mistakes if you do it yourself first time. Should be $500.00 and up depending on manufacture/color/texture and most importantly...demand.

OMG, who cares about paint protection. unless you plan to resell your vehicle and it's something special (increases with value with time) just freaking drive it. Most people buy Vinyl because they got stuck with a shitty color or just want to make a statement, or if you're like me, you're trying to hide some blemishes (eye sores) on the paint/body damage. My BMW was jet glossy black, had very minor dents and the door they replaced was a different shade of black. My matt ghost blue vinyl wrap made it eye appealing because of the color, it helped hide all the imperfections and also made a statement with all the positive comments I got. It was the best $400.00 I spent, and it let me learn a new skill. So, if you have a multi-million-dollar sports car, you're not watching this video.
