Paint protection film for your car: suitable surfaces

By surface, not by vehicle model: each surface is a cut in your dimensions. Anything that is more than a flat or slightly curved surface we discuss beforehand.

Interior

  • Piano Black

    Delicate high-gloss trim surfaces on which micro-scratches and signs of use quickly show. Transparent film made to measure, the gloss stays visible.

    Piano black trim 12 × 30 cm: from €5.00
  • Centre console

    Smooth, measurable trim surfaces around the storage tray and gear lever – as a rectangle, with a corner radius or as a custom contour. Buttons, displays and controls are left uncovered.

    Centre console 15 × 25 cm, radius 1 cm: from €5.00
  • Trim strips

    Narrow, straight strips on the dashboard and door: length × width, provided the strip is flat or only slightly curved. Have strongly curved strips checked beforehand.

    Trim strip blank 10 × 100 cm: from €10.00
  • Other smooth interior surfaces

    Smooth plastic and painted surfaces on door panels and storage trays – configurable to size if the surface is flat and the shape is measurable.

Exterior

What we do not currently offer

PPF WERK cuts surfaces to size – not a wrapping business. So that your enquiry fits before you measure:

  • No complete vehicle wrapNo full PPF, no complete wrapping of individual body parts.
  • No 3D body templatesStrongly curved parts – wings, bumpers, mirror caps – belong in the hands of a wrapping professional.
  • No installation serviceThe film comes to you cut to size; you apply it yourself – with instructions and, if you like, the Application Kit.

What does it cost?

A starting point, not a model dimension: the template opens the configurator with shape, dimensions and film – you enter the dimensions of your surface. Every vehicle is different; the dimensions come from your tape measure, not from a list.

Narrower than 10 cm? Cut several strips yourself from a 10 cm wide piece – for example three of just over 3 cm for trim strips and door edges.

Small trims: each cut is charged at a minimum of 0.05 m². Several small surfaces are cheaper ordered as one shared piece that you cut yourself.

Protecting Piano Black

High-gloss black trim surfaces are the most delicate surfaces in the interior: they are in plain view, are touched every day, and every fine mark shows in the gloss – from fingernails, keys, cleaning cloths.

A transparent made-to-measure protective film lies over it as an additional layer. It takes the typical superficial wear, the trim underneath stays as it is – and the film can be peeled off again later.

Our recommendation

Premium Clear – crystal clear, depth and gloss stay visible. Matte or High Gloss only if you deliberately want to change the finish.

Film choice in detail

Loading sill protection: film or trim?

Under “loading sill protection” you mostly find a trim: a moulded part made of plastic or stainless steel, shaped for a specific vehicle model and bonded onto the sill. Our loading sill protection is a transparent paint protection film, cut to the dimensions of your loading sill.

Two hands measure the width of the loading sill with a tape measure under the open tailgate.

Film if …

the paint is smooth and intact, the sill flat or only slightly curved – and the loading sill should look as it does without protection.

Trim if …

heavy, angular loads also hit the sill with impacts that a thin film does not absorb – or the look of a trim is wanted.

Which film for the vehicle

If the surface should look as before, take a transparent film – Clear or Premium Clear. Matte and High Gloss are decisions for a different finish.

Transparent – the look stays

  • Keep transparency

    Clear

    For interior surfaces under normal use and tight radii: the thinnest film, crystal clear, transparent protective effect – fine scratches remain visible on it.

    View Clear
  • Under heavier use

    Premium Clear

    For surfaces with a higher risk of visible signs of use – Piano Black, centre console, loading sill: thicker base layer, and fine, superficial scratches can even out again in the film surface. Deep cuts do not.

    View Premium Clear

A different finish – the look changes

  • Reduce reflection

    Matte

    Only if a more matte finish is wanted: takes away gloss and reflections, visibly changes the look. Not a standard interior film.

    View Matte
  • Enhance gloss

    High Gloss

    For a deliberately high-gloss finish on surfaces that are already glossy. If the surface should look as before, Clear or Premium Clear are the right choice.

Is my surface suitable?

Three points before measuring: is the shape flat enough, will the film hold on the surface, and does everything that has a function stay uncovered?

1 · Shape

  • FlatFits – the usual case
  • Slightly curvedFits – with a little heat
  • Curved in two directionsNo flat cut

The configurator cuts a flat contour. That suits flat or slightly curved surfaces – a slight curve settles with a little heat; the thin Clear follows tight radii most easily. Bumpers, mirror housings and strongly curved trim strips curve in two directions; a straight cut is not enough for that, and 3D templates are not available from us – there we recommend professional installation or a photo beforehand.

2 · Surface

The film is an additional layer over a smooth, intact surface. It does not repair paint damage and does not stabilise flaking paint – the surface underneath stays as it is.

  • Automotive paintSuitableLoading sill, door sills, door edges, interior trimFully cured factory paint or fully cured repaint.
  • Smooth plasticsSuitableSmooth trim panels, linings and storage traysSmooth and sealed, painted or coated. With soft plastics, test on a hidden spot first.
  • Freshly paintedCheck firstPaint less than four weeks oldLet it cure, otherwise the adhesive can leave marks in the paint. Ask if unsure.
  • Unknown materialCheck firstNot sure what the surface isA photo and a short description are enough – we will tell you whether and which film fits.
  • Heavily textured or rough surfacesNot suitableGrained or rubberised plastic, leather, textiles, rubber sealsThe adhesive does not hold across the whole surface, or the film cannot follow the texture – the edges lift.
All surfaces

3 · These areas stay uncovered

The film belongs only on trim and painted surfaces. Not on areas that have a function:

  • Airbag covers and seams
  • Sensors, cameras and radar areas
  • Touchscreens, displays and head-up display areas
  • Buttons, switches and controls
  • Warning lights and labels

Complex shape or unsure about the surface?

Send us a photo before you measure. We help you assess whether the area and its surface are suitable for a made-to-measure cut and which shape to choose in the configurator – we cannot promise a fit on the vehicle based on a photo.

What belongs in the photo

  1. An overview photo showing the whole area and its surroundings
  2. A detail photo of the surface and edge – curvature, gaps, texture
  3. The approximate dimensions and, if known, the material

Measurable? Then configurable.

The online configurator is suitable for flat or only slightly shaped, cleanly measurable surfaces. Four shapes cover most vehicle surfaces – each opens with the film preselected, you enter the dimensions.

  • Rectangular surface

    Width × length – trim surface, loading sill, sill, narrow trim strip. The usual case on the vehicle.

    Configure: Rectangle
  • Surface with radius

    Width × length + corner radius – for trim panels and consoles with rounded corners. Rounded corners lift less than pointed ones.

    Configure: Rounded corners
  • Slanted edge

    Two widths and the height – for loading sills that narrow towards the bumper.

    Configure: Trapezoid
  • Custom contour

    Enter the enclosing rectangle and upload the contour as a template – for trim panels with a cut-out. With “Exactly to size” we cut it exactly like that.

    Configure: Free form

Measuring on the vehicle

  • Measure in centimetres, accurate to one millimetre.
  • Width at the widest point, length from edge to edge – for trims with rounded corners, the radius as well.
  • The film ends two to three millimetres before gaps, beads and edges – otherwise that is where it lifts first.
  • Loading sill narrower towards the bumper? Choose the trapezoid and measure both widths.
  • Allowance: with “Cut it yourself” an allowance of one centimetre helps, which you trim off on site. With “Exactly to size” we cut exactly the dimensions entered.
  • The shorter edge may be at most 180 cm and must be at least 10 cm. You cut narrow strips for door edges and trim strips yourself from a piece that wide – choose “Cut it yourself”.
  • Lay it on before ordering: in the configurator there is a 1:1 test template to print for every shape – helpful for small radii, corners and interior surfaces.
Measuring correctly

Installation on an interior surface

Applied wet, as on any smooth surface. Four steps – without removing interior parts.

  1. Step 1

    Clean the surface

    Clean and degrease the trim or paint thoroughly, let it dry completely. Do not remove anything: installation works without dismantling interior parts.

  2. Step 2

    Wet and align

    Spray the surface and the adhesive side with water and a drop of washing-up liquid, lay the film on and align it exactly with the edge.

  3. Step 3

    Apply cleanly

    Squeegee from the centre outwards, in overlapping strokes. Slight curves with a little heat, in small steps.

  4. Step 4

    Check the edges

    Press the edges down, let it cure for 24 hours – during that time do not wet-clean it and do not put any load on it.

Questions about the vehicle

Are there vehicle-specific kits?+

For the loading sill, yes: for selected models there are ready-cut kits – pre-cut, with mounting tools, at a fixed price. A model can only be ordered once its cutting template has been checked on a real vehicle; until then you can ask to be notified. The overview is under “Ready-cut kits”. We cut all other surfaces to your dimensions – no full wrap, no 3D templates.

Which areas of the vehicle can I protect?+

Flat or only slightly curved, cleanly measurable areas with a smooth, sealed surface: Piano Black trim, centre console, trim strips and door areas inside; loading sill and door sills outside. Not: strongly curved body parts, textured plastic, rubber seals, leather, displays, controls and anything that touches airbags, sensors or cameras.

Is the film suitable for Piano Black?+

Smooth, sealed high-gloss surfaces are suitable in principle. Interior trim panels are usually painted or coated plastic – test the adhesion in a hidden spot or send us a photo. If the gloss should stay as it is: Clear or Premium Clear. Matte visibly takes away the gloss.

Loading sill protection: film or a plastic or stainless steel trim?+

A trim is a moulded part, shaped for a specific vehicle model and bonded onto the sill – a visible part with its own look. Our film is a transparent piece cut to the dimensions of your loading sill, as a rectangle or trapezoid: the paint colour stays visible, and you do not need a particular vehicle model for it. It takes superficial scratches and scuffs from loading and unloading; it does not protect against dents. For the loading sill we recommend Premium Clear.

Can I cover complex curved surfaces with film?+

Slightly curved surfaces yes – edges need a little heat from a hair dryer; the thin Clear follows tight radii most easily. Strongly curved parts such as wings, bumpers or mirror caps cannot be covered cleanly with a straight cut; we have no 3D templates for that. If in doubt: send a photo, we will help with the assessment.

Clear or Premium Clear?+

Both are crystal clear and let the surface look as before. Clear for interior surfaces under normal use and tight radii; Premium Clear with a thicker base layer for surfaces that are touched or put under load every day – Piano Black, centre console, loading sill.

Can I install the film myself?+

On flat interior surfaces, the loading sill and sills, yes: clean the surface, wet the film and the surface, align, squeegee from the centre outwards, press the edges down. You do not have to remove interior parts for this – we advise against it, because clips, airbags and electronics can be affected. For strongly curved or complex surfaces we recommend professional installation or advice beforehand.

What do I do with a special shape?+

In the configurator choose the free form, enter the enclosing rectangle and upload the contour as a template – with “Exactly to size” we cut it exactly like that. If you are unsure whether shape or surface are suitable, send us an overview photo, a detail photo and the approximate dimensions.

All questions

Surface measurable?

Then you enter shape and dimensions and get the film exactly like that – from your tape measure, not by model.
