PPF Training: Installing Paint Protection Film on a Chevy Silverado ZR2 Hood (With Big Mistakes!)

[@jayd38357]

As an installer this video made me feel not so alone when problems happen! Thanks for keeping it real!

Nice job

Thank you. It was a bit messy, but we got it done. 😁

Don’t be hard on yourself, some installs don’t go as anticipated. I had your same exact issues on a Raptor R hood I was doing with those concave areas not wanting to stick. For a second I thought I was watching myself 😂

[@whoiswaynereynolds5457]

Yep it's bird flu for sure

[@EncorePPFtint]

🤣😂 It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one! Even after all of these years, I still have to go through this from time to time. 🤦🏻‍♂️ the raptor has some good ones as well. I just uploaded a video that will post in a couple of weeks on a 2025 Lexus GX550 hood. It has a huge recesse in the middle of the hood. Interesting install. 👍🏻

Hey Greg, great video. Really enjoyed watching you overcome that obstacle. Was wondering if you had any tips on how to avoid walking/shifting of film on plotter. I sometimes get shifting of a 1/4 each or more. Thanks for another video and Happy New Year.

great video! what cause the chicken skin?

[@EncorePPFtint]

There is too much soap in my slip solution. The distilled water needs much less soap than when using just filtered water from our reverse osmosis system.

Chicken skin caused by bird flu

[@EncorePPFtint]

What (who) had the bird flu, though? Me, the hood, or the PPF? 🤔

[@whoiswaynereynolds5457]

@EncorePPFtint not sure what came first, the flu or the egg
