Clear Vinyl Paint Protection

[Leonidas]

I’m planning to wrap my front bumper area/fascia and edge of the hood with 3m clear vinyl wrap. I know the rocker panels are good to wrap, but I wonder how the wrap will stick to the orange peel rocker paint. Anyone tried this? Thanks!

I’m also planning to do my own PPF. Have watched several YT channels on this. Doesn’t seem hard, just need patience. Would like to hear your experience once you get it done. I sure in hell ain’t payin‘ what they want to install this stuff.

I live in an area where there are tons of gravel roads , rock pits and they use pit run on the roads in the winter. I've seen everything from do it yourself jobs to high dollar film shop work. it turns a rock chip into a plastic gouge with a smaller chip. in no way is a viable protective film, period . and I don't care what the salesmen and cheerleaders say.

Now if you're in a less hostile environment it might help some. but if that's the case I don't see why it's needed. if it worked I'd be all over it I don't care what it cost. but it doesn't.

I’ve had PPF on my truck, from top to bottom, since day one and it’s absolutely saved the paint a million times. I’ve had no issues at all with the crinkle paint near the rockers and the PPF’s adherence to it. It’s especially helpful because my 315‘s poke out a bit and spray a lot of debris onto the body and the film has kept it safe with no sign of any damage. I’ve even taken a rock flung by a semi going the opposite direction to the front bumper with enough force that it’s left a sizable dent, but the PPF still kept the paint from any damage.
